What is the mystery of God?

[FineLinen]

Mystery= musterion =

Not the mysterious, but that which is outside the range of unassisted natural apprehension.

Can be made known ONLY by Divine revelation & at a time appointed by God.

"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace , wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace ; Wherein He has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; having made known unto us the mystery of His will , according to His good pleasure which He has purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will."

That's a really good clue.

When you look at it that way - the whole verse makes a pretty good case for UR.

Wow!! this should be posted in every town on a huge billboard. Or on every tv station in the world.  :sigh: But, I guess it is just not time yet.

for me, these are speaking of the same thing:

That the mystery of His will   IS   the forgiveness of sins

The master plan of Abba is a long range plan of bringing everything & everybody together into Him with nothing, absolutely nothing exempt from His rule.

He is supreme in the beginning, He is supreme in the end!

All broken & dislocated pieces of the universe fixed in vibrant harmony.

You beat me to it.  :thumbsup:

I was going to say that Oneness is the mystery. No separation, hiding, shame or nakedness.

Dear A.E.: What a grande Father we have! May He excessively bless you and yours in His high calling in Him.

Which all speaks of the same thing:

forgiveness causes unity in a relationship
WHEREAS
condemnation causes separation in a relationship

There are vast areas of our heavenly Lord that surpasses all we can think. It is in the realm of the koine musterion. The restitution of all things is one of those wonderfully glorious mysteries within the many pages of the Tent declaring it, but it still remains an inarticulate expression that remains largely hidden from the natural man.

"I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires...the transcendent greatness of His power as seen in the working of His infinite might...the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself."
