The Mystery
The mystery of the faith of a believer in Jesus, the Christ, is priceless, eternal and awesome! The mystery of the faith of a believer in Jesus, the Christ, is either the reason why we give God our life or why we will never give God our life. The mystery of the faith of a believer in Jesus, the Christ, is why we have 66 books of a Bible, is why God sent His Son, and is why Jesus heralded the coming of the Comforter!
The mystery of the faith is supposed to be a mystery…that is what makes it faith and not understanding.
Even though our humanity does not like the “mystery” element, our relationship with god allows us to look beyond our flesh to appreciate the validation of God in the fact that it is a mystery. Faith is hoped for and not seen which leaves it intrinsically a mystery to all who hold and behold it! Therefore, we, as believers, must hold the mystery of the faith in Jesus, the Christ, in pure conscience. There are two reasons for this. First of all, the mystery of the faith must be free of contamination to exist; secondly, the believer must be free of contamination and confusion to be able to securely hold the mystery of the faith.
