In this book it has been my endeavor to speak of some of the Mysteries of LOVE that have been revealed in New Testament scripture and which many believers in Christ have missed.
The mysteries spoken of in this book are God’s will for us. Often people seek His will, thinking it only means an outer doing of a thing or being somewhere at a certain time. But here we explore the mystery of His will, which in all wisdom and understanding He made known to us according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ. Eph.1:8-9 NIV
Following Jesus’ resurrection, the Apostle Paul was explaining the mystery of Christ to people when he said, “I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters…” Rom. 11:25
The ones who were spreading the good news about Christ to the people said, “we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.” 1 Cor. 2:7 NIV The mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Col. 1:26-27
These mysteries involve not only God’s love for us and Christ’s Life in us, but our experiencing the transforming power of the risen Christ and our expression of His love toward others. We will see the various words and phrases that are used to explain that one thing – LOVE in the Present Tense.
