Welcome to the Gospel of the Mystery
Our Purpose
1.) To share The Gospel of Salvation wherein God has provided us the way to salvation in that He has provided us the sacrifice in the gift of His only begotten Son so that we may have eternal life and have a share in His mighty purpose and grace. He has also provided us a guide in the gift of His Written Word.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16
"Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house." - Acts 16:30-32
"Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." - Gal. 1:3-5
"For he hath made him (Christ) to be sin (a sin offering) for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." - 2 Cor. 5:21
During the Acts, when the Lord Jesus appeared to Saul in a bright light from heaven on his way to Damascus, we read of the Lord Jesus' words about sending him to the Gentiles in Acts 26:18 - "To open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me. "
In Titus 3:4-6 we read - "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour."
And in 2 Tim. 1:8,9 we read "..God, Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus..."
According to 1 Timothy 2:3,4 - "It is the will of God to have all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth."
The Lord Jesus said "If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. - John 8:31-32"
"If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." - John 8:36
2.) To share The Gospel of The Mystery wherein God had especially revealed to the apostle Paul (the apostle to the Gentiles) the Mystery (or Secret) and a new dispensation concerning the Church which is "His Body" when Israel as a nation was temporarily set aside (due to unbelief) as recorded at the end of the book of "Acts" (the fifth book of the New Testament) at Acts 28:28 (64 A.D.). This new revelation is called The Mystery or The Secret (Eph. 3:3). It is also called the Dispensation (Gk. Oikonomia) of the Mystery (Eph. 3:9). This Mystery is said to be hid in God from ages and from generations, but is now (after Acts 28) made manifest to his saints (Eph. 3:9, Col. 1:26). There are 7 books written by the apostle Paul after Acts 28 (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, I Timothy, Titus and II Timothy) which contains the message for the present dispensation of the Mystery. This Mystery is the "Good News" of the present position and coming relation of the Head (Christ Jesus our Lord) and the Body (Believers in the present dispensation and age) in the Glory (in the Heavenlies). The Mystery contains the latest instructions for the believer today. To know the Mystery as revealed from the Prison Epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, I Timothy, Titus and II Timothy) is to know the present will of God for us for the present.
Paul is the only Apostle commisioned by God to declare the Mystery which have been kept hidden for ages and generations. To the Apostle Paul was given this latest truth which make the Word of God complete.
"Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil (Gk. = pleroo = to make full, complete) the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:" - Colossians 1:25-26
The purpose: "Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him." - Eph. 1:9,10
"For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." -
The bible says "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." - 2 Tim. 2:15
"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." - 2 Timothy 2:2
Our present hope: Colossians 1:1-4
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
We can borrow the following message and warning from the book of Hebrews below:
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." - Heb. 11:6
Heb. 4:1-11
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
