Subject: What is the gospel of the mystery? |
Bible Note: Dear Tanielu, Although redemption is worked out chronologically, His children were chosen before creation (1 Peter 1:20). The word mystery is used in Scripture in a number of places, also being associated with God's eternal purpose in the gospel. However, that is not because there are different kinds of gospels -- there is only one gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). When the Scriptures use the term mystery associated with the gospel, it is speaking of this same sense that God's will is revealed gradually through time (Ephesians 1:9-10). God does not have a Plan B. Nor does God have alternative methods of salvation throughout time. No one is saved by any other means than through the Lord Jesus Christ -- from the very first person to be saved to the very last. In Him, Doc |
