Yet when I am among mature believers, I do
speak with words of wisdom, but not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this
world or to the rulers of this world, who are soon forgotten. No, the wisdom we
speak of is the mystery of God—His plan that was previously hidden, even though
He made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. 1 Corinthians
2:6-7
 |
| Baptism of believers at the River Jordan |
This mystery…the wisdom…is about God’s
salvation. A salvation He offered to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles.
God loves everyone…For God so loved the
world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall have
eternal life. John 3:16. It is probably the most known verse in the entire
Bible. It takes the mystery out of God’s plan. He opens up salvation—eternal
life—the hope of heaven—to all people. God made it rather simple—uncomplicated.
We don’t have to climb a mountain, burn incense, chant rote prayers, be
reincarnated several times as different animals or people, or do a specific
number of good deeds…or any good deeds at all. We just have to simply believe. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is
Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be
saved. Romans 10:9. So where do you stand with the Lord? Is it still a
mystery to you…or do you believe?
Prayer
~ Lord, I believe in You. And I believe that anything is possible if a person
believes. Help my unbelief. (From Mark 9:23-24.)
Happy Anniversary, Mike & Melissa!
