The Mystery of the Gospel - The Telling of the Secret!

• Paul was the messenger entrusted with revealing the mystery.
• He declared himself to be "the least of all the SAINTS (not just the apostles). This declaration shows Paul's humility.
• When God's grace is revealed to someone it produces a grateful heart.
• Preaching was the method used to proclaim this mystery. This would not and could not be discovered by human means.
• There is a wealth of mercy and grace in Jesus Christ. We see it in His birth, His death and His resurrection.
• This revelation creates rather than destroys wonderment. Its purpose was to show God's practical wisdom and mercy. He accomplishes this through the Church and is observed by all His creation. Even the fallen angels are awed by God's accomplished purpose.
• Maintain hope; keep looking at God' s wonderful plan for salvation because faith fails with a faulty understanding of God.
