[color=white]Rightly Dividing the Holy Spirit[/color]
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/spirit/rightly-dividing-the-holy-spirit
By Justin Johnson
It is right to divide Peter and Paul’s ministries. Peter and
Paul both preached Jesus, but in different ways.
One preached Christ according to prophecy, the other according
to a mystery (Eph 1:9-10). The same Lord Jesus Christ was
glorified in two different ministries.
What should not be missed is that Peter and Paul did not invent
their different ministries out of thin air. It was the Holy
Spirit that spoke through them.
Rightly dividing the Prophecy and Mystery is rightly dividing
the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit Testifies of Jesus
Jesus said that when the Comforter was sent at Pentecost he
would testify of him.
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from
the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the
Father, he shall testify of me…” – John 15:26
When we learn to rightly divide we know it is not sufficient
just to testify of Jesus, we also ask the question, “how do we
testify Jesus?”
The Lord explained that the Spirit would minister in the same
fashion as Jesus in his earthly ministry.
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.” – John 14:26
Jesus was a minister of the circumcision (Rom 15:8 ). The Spirit
through Peter at Pentecost was a minister of the circumcision as
well.
A Change in Ministry
When the Lord Jesus returned to his chief persecutor, Saul, he
not only dispensed his abundant grace upon him, but also gave to
him a new ministry of himself.
He revealed to Paul how to minister according to a mystery (Rom
16:25).
“But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached
of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man,
neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
– Gal 1:11-12
This mystery of Christ made Paul’s ministry different than the
ministry of Peter who spoke only of the subjects in prophecy.
“Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these
days.” – Acts 3:24
The Spirit’s Change
At Pentecost it was the Holy Ghost that filled Peter to preach
what the prophets spoke (Acts 2:4).
After the Lord Jesus Christ gave a different ministry to Paul,
the Spirit changed his ministry as well, testifying of Christ
according to the mystery. It was the same Spirit that filled
Paul to preach the mystery of Christ.
“Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the
mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto
the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles
and prophets by the Spirit;” – Eph 3:4-5
It was the Spirit working in Peter and Paul that orchestrated
the transition from a ministry of Israel to a ministry about the
church the new creature.
Same Spirit, Different Ministries
In order to properly rightly divide Pentecost from the Church we
must rightly divide the ministry of the Spirit.
It is not enough that we see the Spirit’s ministry, we must ask,
“how does he minister?” The way we preach Jesus has changed,
because the Spirit changed his ministry to the church.
At Pentecost the Spirit ministered according to prophecy.
Through Paul the Spirit ministered the mystery of Christ. Same
Spirit, different ministries.

[glow=red,2,300][color=white]Why Do You Call It Mid-Acts Pauline
Dispensational Right Division?
[/color][/glow]
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/midacts/why-do-you-call-it-mid-acts-dispensational-right-division
If you are like most people, when you heard “mid-Acts Pauline
dispensational right division” for the first time you were
overwhelmed. “What does it mean?!”, “That’s got to be a cult”,
or “Why is it so long?”
Truthfully, I wish we could drop the whole thing. No where in
the Bible are we told to name ourselves apart from the name of
Christ.
Yet, when we live in such a present evil world and a diverse
marketplace of ideas we must carry some distinction to describe
our doctrine as separate from the rest.
If we must identify ourselves the obvious preference would be to
identify ourselves with the Lord Jesus, but it seems people can
easily confuse us with the Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, and
Universalists who also name the name of Christ.
Though the mid-Acts description is tedious it does have its
advantages: it communicates ‘we are different’, it is honest, it
gets peoples’ attention, and it makes a nice satirical jab at
denominational nomenclature (we are not trying to start a
denomination).
This page seeks to explain exactly why we use each word in our
verbose name.
For a better summary of the basics of mid-Acts teaching go here.
Mid-Acts
‘Mid-Acts’ refers to when in Scripture the current dispensation
of Grace began (Ephesians 3:1-2).
This present age began when the mystery information was revealed
to the Apostle Paul in the middle of the book of Acts (1
Corinthians 9:17).
Often referred to as the ‘church age’, many Bible students
wrongly believe this present age began at Pentecost, when Christ
died, or even Acts 28.
Pauline
Pauline refers to Paul being the Apostle of the Gentiles, and
having the pattern of salvation that we are saved by today
(Romans 11:13;1 Timothy 1:16).
Paul was given a revelation from Jesus Christ about information
that had been ‘kept secret since the world began’ (Romans 16:25,
Ephesians 3:1-5).
The information revealed to Paul contained an unprophesied ‘new
creature’ called the Body of Christ that is saved by grace
through faith and will reign with Christ in heaven (2
Corinthians 5:17, Eph 2:7).
Paul was NOT one of the twelve apostles of the prophecy program
(1 Cor 15:5-8).
Though Paul was an evangelist, he was not ONLY an evangelist. A
gospel dispensation was committed to him about about a secret
part of God’s plan for salvation by grace through faith alone (1
Cor 9:16-17).
Paul taught a message that was about Jesus but in a different
perspective. It was Jesus Christ according to the revelation of
the mystery (Romans 16:25).
Dispensational
A dispensation is when further information was given by God
about how we are to relate to Him and the world around us.
Though God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, His
instructions for mankind’s operation by faith has been revealed
progressively at sundry times and in divers manners (Hebrews
1:1).
Dispensational Bible study recognizes the different messages and
methods that God uses to deal with mankind throughout history
according to His purpose (1 Corinthians 12:5).
Right Division
Right Division is a method of studying the Bible in the light of
recognizing God’s distinct dispensations and programs (1
Corinthians 12:5).
Understanding God’s distinct dispensations, we must divide or
discern Scripture according to his separate purposes for the
heaven and earth (2 Tim 2:15).
All Scripture is profitable for doctrine, and yet we must
discern our instructions from the instructions given by God to
other groups at other times (2 Timothy 3:16).
Today as members of the Body of Christ we must carefully apply
those doctrines that are specifically for us in the dispensation
of Grace.
We would much rather simply be called ‘Bible believers’, ‘those
people who teach the gospel of Christ’, or ‘those grace
ambassadors of the Lord’.
Whatever you want to call us or the doctrine, we know it makes
the Bible a whole lot easier to understand when you obey the
Lord’s instructions to Paul.
A rose is a rose, and by any other name would still fade away,
but the word of the Lord stands forever (Psalm 119:89).

How to Preach the Love of God in Christ
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/life/how-to-preach-the-love-of-god-in-christ
By Justin Johnson
Jesus described the greatest love a man could have.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends.” – John 15:13
A life is the last thing a man can give. If he gives his life,
there is nothing more he can give.
This kind of love is scarce (Rom 5:7), but when it happens it is
recognized by all as the greatest love man can give.
Jesus was no ordinary man. He was God manifest in the flesh, the
Messiah, the Son of God. In his ministry to Israel he taught the
love taught under the law.
“ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” – John
15:14
Jesus considered the disciples his friends since they believed
and obeyed him. Those who did not follow, obey, or do what Jesus
said were not his friends (Matt 10:32-33; Matt 19:22-23).
Jesus had spent the past few years of his life doing good,
performing miracles, and teaching to love God and neighbor, but
his act of greatest love as a man was yet to come.
Jesus would die for his friends. His body would be broken for
those he considered friends. He would deliver them from their
enemies (Luke 1:71).
There is nothing greater he could give as a man living perfectly
under the law.
God’s Greater Love
While greater love hath no man than to die for his friends,
God’s love is greater.
Christ died and rose from the dead. He had displayed the
greatest love man could give to his friends, but he had not yet
revealed the greatest love of God.
It was not until Christ revealed the mystery of his death and
resurrection to Paul that God’s love would be so greatly
commended to all (Titus 3:4-6).
Christ’s death was not only the greatest love that a man could
have, but now is preached as commending the love of God.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
Man’s greatest love is to die for his friends. God’s love is
commended by dying for his enemies. This is called grace.
Friends merit love, and dying for them is seen as the greatest
display of that love between men.
Enemies do not merit love, and dying for them is seen as not
only love but grace. The only one who could give this sort of
love and grace and maintain his righteousness is God through
Christ.
The Love of God
Preaching the death of Christ for those that love him is
preaching the greatest love man could have, but it is not
preaching the greater love of God today.
Man’s love is commended by dying for family, friends, and
country.
The love of God in Christ’s death surpasses human capability.
The love of God in Christ’s death surpasses human relationship.
The love of God in Christ’s death surpasses human merit.
The love of God in Christ’s death surpasses human sin.
The love of God in Christ’s death surpasses his wrath.
It is not said that the love of God is commended in the birth of
Jesus, or the life of Jesus, or even the death of Jesus as a man
for his friends, which all happened under the law to his family,
friends, and country.
The love of God is commended in the death of Christ for us who
are not.
The love of God is commended in the death of Christ for sinners
and enemies.
Preaching the love of God in Christ requires preaching the death
of Christ according to the dispensation of the grace of God.

Pentecost Not the Beginning of the Mystery Church
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/mystery/pentecost-not-the-beginning-of-the-mystery-church
By Justin Johnson
[size=10pt][size=12pt]“…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…” – Romans
16:25
“This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the
church.” – Eph 5:32
The great mystery revealed in Paul’s writings consists of Christ
and the church (Eph 5:32; Eph 3:6-9).
Never before had God spoken of a joint body of Jew and Gentile,
which would receive glory apart from national Israel, their
covenants, or their law.
This new creature, as Paul calls it, was unknown since the world
began, unknown by the ancient prophets (Col 1:25-28). This is
why he calls it a mystery until revealed to him.
“How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery” – Eph
3:3
Yet and still many in the church think this new creature had its
beginnings on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. Pentecost is where
they find their pattern, their origins, and is the root cause of
the widespread growth of Pentecostal charismatic belief today.
Consistent dispensational teaching has stood alone in insisting
that the church was not in operation in Acts 2.
Why? The simple reason is that everything described in Acts 1
and 2 is the subject of what was prophesied since the world
began, and was not a mystery kept secret.
The church today is operating according to the mystery. The
believers at Pentecost were fulfilling prophecy.
Consider the content of these first two chapters of Acts.
Jesus taught the twelve apostles pertaining to the kingdom of
God that was already written in the prophetic scriptures (Acts
1:3; Luke 24:44-45).
Jesus commands them to stay in Jerusalem, God’s prophetic city
(Acts 1:4)
Jesus tells them to wait for the promise of the Father which
promise had been given by the old testament prophets (Acts
1:4-5)
They were expecting the restoration of Israel’s kingdom (Acts
1:6)
They were to preach salvation to Israel first, and then
salvation to the world through
Israel’s rise (Acts 1:8 ). This is the description of world
salvation by the prophets.
Jesus ascended to heaven to fulfill the prophecies (Acts 1:9; Ps
110:1; Acts 2:33-35).
The angels explain about Jesus’ return to the earth according to
the prophets (Acts 1:11-12)
Peter explains that Judas’ betrayal and death was a fulfillment
of prophecy (Acts 1:16-18)
Peter explains that his office needs to be replaced according to
the prophecies (Acts 1:19-20).
The method of choosing the twelfth apostle was that which God
instructed Israel in time past (Lev 16:8; Pro 16:33).
There are twelve apostles in order to possess authority over
twelve tribes of Israel (Acts 1:26; Matt 19:28)
The Spirit coming on Pentecost fulfills the shadow of the
holiday given to Israel (Acts 2:1; Lev 23).
The Spirit is poured out on believing Israel as the prophecies
had spoken (Acts 2:4; Isa 44:3; Prov 1:23)
The kingdom restoration of language began as prophesied (Acts
2:5-8; Zeph 3:9).
The apostles proclaim the wonderful works of God according to Ps
40; Ps 78; and Ps 107 (Acts 2:11)
Peter identifies what happened as a fulfillment of the prophecy
spoken by the prophet Joel (Acts 2:16-21).
Peter preached to the men of Israel and the “house of Israel”
(Acts 2:22; Acts 2:36)
Peter preaches Jesus of Nazareth as Israel’s Christ according to
David’s prophecy about the Messiah (Acts 2:22-31)
Peter preaches the fulfillment of Ps 110:1 in Jesus resurrection
(Acts 2:32-35).
Peter commanded his hearers to be repent, be baptized, receive
the Spirit, all according to the promises given to Israel (Acts
2:38-41).
The believers sold all that they had in expectation of the
coming kingdom, living communally, and continued daily in
Israel’s temple (Acts 2:42-46).
After the abundance of evidence that the events in Acts 1 and 2
were prophesied, the only argument that remains that the church
began at Pentecost is Acts 2:47.
“And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
“ – Acts 2:47
This scripture clearly says that the church was present at
Pentecost, but if we are not to throw out every other verse in
Acts 1 and 2, we must allow the scriptures to just as clearly
describe it to be the prophesied church, and not the church
according to the revelation of the mystery.
A study of the cross references found in Acts 1 and 2 to the
events declared by the prophets can result in only one
conclusion if the scripture is to be taken literally: the church
at Pentecost was not the new creature that Paul describes which
was kept secret since the world began.
What was kept secret (Paul’s new creature) cannot be what was
prophesied (the events of Pentecost).
The operation of the body of Christ according to the revelation
of the mystery began when the Lord revealed such a change in the
dispensation first revealed to Paul (Col 1:25; 1 Cor 9:17).
The body of Christ today does not find its pattern in what was
happening at the prophesied Pentecost of Acts 2, but in the
pattern of the apostle Paul’s mystery ministry concerning Christ
and his church of today.[/size]

Without Hope
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/salvation/without-hope
By Justin Johnson
Hope has been called faith in the future tense. The optimists of
the world are always trying to engender hope. Evolution teaches
we are on an a steady incline of progress. Economists tell us
that we live in a world of unprecedented economic success.
Family researchers say our children will be the most advantaged
children in history!
However, evolution can not resolve the death problem.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:…” – Heb 9:27
Though we have the highest technology we end up using it only on
our death bed.
“For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we
can carry nothing out.” – 1 Tim 6:7
For most of us worldly success is not in reach and the lure of
prosperity fades quickly away. At the very end of our lives
everyone sounds like Job:
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent
without hope.” – Job 7:6
What hope can we give our children if we know they will in the
end spend their lives without hope like everyone else?
False Hope Ignores Death
All too often the hope of the world is only a mask for the
hopelessness that awaits us all in death. Yet, it is in death
that hope is truly needed!
The world is still searching for a hope that lasts. It has not
found it.
Even some Christians look for hope in science, success, or
children, but Paul pulls back the curtain on this temporary
hope:
“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
most miserable.” – 1 Cor 15:19
The Bible says the cause of hopelessness is a rejection of the
gospel of Christ. Despite God’s provision of hope in the gospel
the world remains in an hopeless condition:
“…without Christ,… having no hope, and without God in the
world:” – Eph 2:12
True Hope Defeats Death
God gives us the hope of eternal life; death is defeated (Titus
1:2).
Jesus provided the means to receive it (Titus 3:7).
A sinless Jesus purchased forgiveness before God with his blood
and conquered death in his resurrection. What was once a world
without hope in death is filled with hope for those who place
their faith in the free gift purchased by the cross of Christ.
The promise of God is sure that we shall see future glory in
Christ (Rom 8:18). The hope of the Bible is not limited by
death. Instead, it is useful all the way to our death bed and
there it applies its greatest strength.
Death has been conquered and we too will resurrect to eternal
life if we are in Christ. When it has lost its sting, death can
only bring us closer to the glory of Christ than ever before
(Phil 1:21)!
The world offers no comfort for the hopeless. Jesus provides
hope and comfort to the dead and dying! Your sins can be
forgiven! You can have eternal life! You can glory in God!
“Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” – 1 Thess 4:18

Mid-Acts Dispensational Right Division is a Gospel Issue
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/salvation/mid-acts-dispensational-right-division-is-a-gospel-issue
By Justin Johnson
There is no more important issue for humanity than the gospel of
our salvation. Yet, when you ask a handful of Christians to
explain the gospel rarely do you get a consistent or clear
answer.
Common ideas about salvation are experiential and based on
performance. These beliefs are not much different than other
religions. They sound like this:
– Doing the best I can
– Going to church
– Being good
– Believing in God
– Raised in a Christian home
– Experienced God’s love
More spiritually minded people will recognize that the gospel
has something to do with Jesus. We hear the salvation gospel
described as “believing in Jesus”, “following Jesus”, “making
Jesus Lord of your life”, “accepting Jesus”, “receiving Jesus”,
or “loving Jesus”. Pretty much, anything that has to do with
Jesus is a legitimate explanation of the gospel for these folks.
Even certified theologians differ about the gospel. Some think
God chooses who will be saved. Others think God grants salvation
in response to our behavior. Catholics believe it is a sin to
presume that you are eternally saved. Now, that is confusion!
The only thing clear about the gospel in Christianity is that
few people can articulate it clearly.
The Gospel of Our Salvation
It is not the gospel of salvation merely to believe in Jesus;
the devils do that (Mark 1:24, James 2:19).
It is not the gospel to love Jesus with all our heart; the
Muslims dothat as well.
“Making Jesus Lord” is something the Mormons include in their
theology, and every good Hindu “accepts” Jesus (they accept
thousands of gods).
None of the beliefs above can save you from God’s rightful
judgment against our sins. Paul clearly states the gospel of our
salvation in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
“… Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures: …” – 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
It was through Christ’s death that our sin is removed and we are
justified.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him.” – 2 Corinthians
5:21
We receive righteous standing with God by faith.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:” – Romans 5:1
Belief in this gospel alone will save you and give you the grace
of eternal life (Rom 6:23). First, we hear this gospel of grace.
Second, we trust it, then we are saved: no more, no less.
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise…” –
Ephesians 1:13
The Mystery of the Gospel
What does this have to do with the mystery of Christ and
mid-Acts dispensational right division? Everything.
You can find gospel messages in the Bible before the gospel of
grace surrounding the covenants, Israel, the Commandments,
baptism, the Messiah, and the kingdom. Christians cause
confusion when they fail to distinguish between the gospel of
the kingdom and the mystery gospel of the grace of God.
No one before the revelation of the mystery of Christ understood
the significant meaning of the death of Jesus to all men (Luke
18:34).
The mystery of Christ is the gospel of the grace of God. It is
the preaching of the cross for salvation. No one before the
revelation of the mystery understood how faith alone could
justify sinners (James 2:24). The gospel of grace was kept
secret from humanity (1 Cor 2:7-8).
Mid-Acts right division recognizes the difference between God’s
progressive instructions in the Bible, and clarifies our
understanding of the gospel for today. By separating the gospel
of grace from the message of the law, covenants, kingdoms, and
baptism the glorious gospel of Christ stands alone.
Resolving the confusions over tithing, tongues, and water
baptism are only consequences and not the main benefit of
mid-acts dispensational right division. The biggest benefit to
the church of learning the mystery of Christ is clarifying the
gospel of our salvation.

The Main Point of Mid Acts Doctrine
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/midacts/the-main-point-of-mid-acts-doctrine
By Justin Johnson
It is not unusual to receive messages from site visitors who
would like to oppose Mid Acts doctrine since evidently it sounds
very different. It is a pleasure to receive one of these
messages since I am able to learn what is being communicated by
what is published.
After reading many of these emails, it is amazing how often
people miss the main point of the Mid Acts perspective. By not
correctly identifying what it is they are attacking, their
volleys fail to hit the mark.
This short post is intended to help direct those who are looking
for the heart of Mid Acts so that you can aim your attacks (or
your sincere consideration) more accurately.
It’s Not about Baptism
It seems some doctrines attract a larger crowd than others.
Baptism is one of those doctrines that will always be surrounded
in controversy.
While it is clearly understood through a Mid Acts perspective
that water baptism has no import in this dispensation it is not
the primary point of Mid Acts dispensational right division.
You Can’t Find It in Acts
The book of Acts does not clearly identify what is taught as Mid
Acts doctrine. The nomenclature “Mid Acts” refers to at what
time Paul was saved.
The book of Acts is about Israel’s rejection of the Apostles:
all of them. First they rejected Christ, the Apostle (Heb 3:1),
then the twelve apostles, then Paul the apostle of the Gentiles.
Christ was rejected in Jerusalem, his disciples all throughout
Israel, and Paul was stoned in Gentile countries. It is a
description of old things (Israel’s position) passing away but
only a vague description of the new things (the new creature).
The Main Point
Here it is: the main point. Mid Acts doctrine does not rest on
baptism, the book of Acts, or 2 Timothy 2:15.
Our Apostle Paul was uniquely given mercy by God while he was
killing the faithful in Christ. Jesus commissioned him with a
unique ministry. Paul taught a message of the Lord Jesus that no
one hitherto had known.
“Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus
Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them
which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.” – 1
Tim 1:16
Jesus gave to Paul a new ministry to be the pattern to everyone
after him. God’s nature has not changed, but his ministry to man
has changed. God’s present ministry to man through Christ was
first revealed in its fullness to our Apostle Paul.
The Painted Target
If Paul did not teach anything significantly different than
Peter, John the Baptist, or the prophets, then Mid Acts doctrine
falls apart.
However, if you can see that there is new doctrine about Jesus
revealed first to Paul that is of primary significance to the
members of the body of Christ today, then you are closer to
identifying the main point of Mid Acts doctrine.

What Is the Mystery Revealed to Paul?
HTML http://graceambassadors.com/mystery/what-is-the-mystery-revealed-to-paul
Justin Johnson
Paul was uniquely saved by God, not by his murderous works, nor
by covenant promise, but freely by God’s grace (1 Cor 15:8;
Titus 3:5).
Paul was a unique apostle. He was the chief persecutor of the
twelve apostles and he calls himself the chief of sinners, but
was called by God to be an apostle of God’s grace (Acts 8:1; Rom
1:1,15:15).
“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am
chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first
Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern
to them which should hereafter believe on him to life
everlasting.” – 1 Tim 1:15-16
The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus
and many times after to reveal what was “from the beginning of
the world… hid in God”, that is, the fellowship of the mystery.
“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this
grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the
unsearchable riches of Christ; And to make all men see what is
the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the
world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus
Christ…” – Eph 3:8-9
Paul calls this revelation the “mystery of Christ”, the “mystery
among the Gentiles”, and the “dispensation of the grace of God”.
This mystery of Christ is distinct from what “was spoken of by
the mouth of the prophets since the world began” concerning
Christ (Acts 3:21, Rom 16:25, Eph 3:1-3).
What was Revealed
So, what is this mystery revealed to Paul?
The mystery revealed about Christ affected both the message of
salvation and sanctification (God’s separation of a people for
his service).
The mystery regarding salvation is the gospel of Christ: how any
man can be justified freely by God’s grace through faith in
Christ Jesus as our propitiation (Rom 3:20-26, 15:16; Eph 6:19).
The mystery revealed to Paul regarding sanctification is the
identity of a new creature called the church, the one body of
Christ (Rom 12:5; Eph 4:4). The church is to practice and preach
the gospel of Christ and all its blessings free in Christ to all
men through faith(Rom 5-8; Eph 1:3, 3:3-9).
Rightly Dividing Prophecy and Mystery
The most important thing to learn in discerning God’s will in
the Bible is to rightly identify and divide the mystery of
Christ from what was spoken to the prophets concerning Christ.
What God had spoken of by the mouth of His prophets since the
world began is not what God kept secret since the world began
(Acts 3:21 vs. Rom 16:25). Mixing mystery truth with the message
prophesied to Israel has led to many doctrinal heresies and
confusions.
Without understanding the mystery Christ revealed to Paul we
cannot be faithful stewards of those mysteries, nor faithful
ministers of Christ.
“Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and
stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in
stewards, that a man be found faithful.” – 1 Cor 4:1-2
More importantly, if we do not understand the mystery of Christ
revealed to Paul we cannot obey the Lord’s greatest commission
“to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery” with
its unsearchable riches (Eph 3:8-9)
For more lessons on what is the mystery of Christ find an audio
lesson, outline, seminar series, and online tract about What is
the Mystery of Christ.
You can also read about what people confuse for the Mystery of
Christ here.
You can also find an entire section of this site dedicated to
explaining the mystery of Christ and its implications for
studying the Bible.
