What Is the Mystery Revealed to Paul?​
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)
