Mysteries revealed

WHY ARE WE EXPECTED TO THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS TO GUESS AT THE MYSTERY HE'S LAID DOWN FOR US?  DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH OUR LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING?

Yes, our understanding of God's word will unravel the mysteries, for Jesus was the mystery of the old covenant revealed.


Rom 16:25  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Rom 16:26  But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Rom 16:27  To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.


Acts 4:10  Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
Acts 4:11  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Acts 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.


  The church is a mystery revealed. Salvation has come to the Gentiles.  

  Rom 11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26  And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27  For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
