The Mystery of Christ

The apostle Paul was given insight into the deep things of God, things that Old Testament people – even prophets – could not know. God revealed to Paul the truth concerning the church, the body of Christ which was a brand new teaching. The idea that both Jew and Gentile would now be equal spiritually in God’s sight as members of the body of Christ, was revolutionary. Paul was raised up by God to declare the new teaching that by faith in Jesus and His redemptive work, all people who believe can be forgiven of all sins and accepted by God.
