SAMPLE TEXT:
The Mystery of the Gospel
It is in this area that the Church is filled with schisms. Denominations have been created to defend their viewpoints of the revelation; and with all of the schisms that have taken place because of the subject, I am convinced that the average believer does not know about the revelation of Jesus Christ. We in the Christ- life have been raised up as a body of people to make effectual this teaching of God’s Word. I believe that we are called to make known this mystery of Christ.
Christ in us is a mystery that must be revealed, and if men do not preach the mystery, they are not preaching the fullness of Christ. If men preach that Jesus is simple and can be understood, and is accessible to the natural or the carnal man, then they are not preaching the gospel of the New Testament. They are preaching some fact, they are preaching some glorious truths, but they are not preaching the whole gospel unless their very terminology comes from the Scriptures.
Our text said the message is the mystery of Christ, and the revelation of that mystery must be made known unto all Gentiles. This great mystery of “the in-Christ position” must be made known unto the Gentiles be cause they are not steeped in generation after generation of the teaching that God is their creator, and they are His chosen, as the Israelites were. The Gentiles, throughout the first 4,000 or so years of God’s plan, were left without the gospel, for God dealt specifically with one people. We who are Gentiles were not included in the plan of God during all that time. There is not steeped in our family spirit, or our natural spirit, the very ideas that God put into Israel. God dealt with one nation. All other nations were either ignored by God, were fought by God, or were used by God, but they were never continually blessed by God as Israel was. It is these nations that form a part of our background. |
