Mystery

The mystery of the God cannot be known by human (spiritually dead) but all that Christians can know of God in this life is revealed in Jesus Christ (spiritually alive). Through the self-revelation of God and His Son, Jesus Christ in the Scriptures, with the help from the Holy Spirit, Christians who is spiritually alive gains everything and loses nothing. The Gospel of John reveals the helplessness of the human mind before the great Mystery which is God and then later, Paul in First Corinthians teaches that God can be known only as the Holy Spirit performs in the seeking heart an act of self-disclosure. Jesus is the mystery of Godliness into time and space for a reason and a purpose which is Spiritual Salvation for Eternal Life. This means that the mystery is less of me and more of God, that my spiritual life deepens and I am strengthened in the knowledge of His grace. Knowledge of the mystery is having the reality of an experience of knowing God personally and consciously. Jesus Christ Himself is the deeper life, and as I plunge on into the knowledge of Christ and His love. Therefore it is not about trying to equate the faith of Christ with reasoning and temporal hope of superior doctrines. Christ is enough and Christ is all we need. He will provide whatever we need. The mystery is this: True faith is not the ability to superiorize unseen things to the satisfaction of our human minds, instead it is the human power to trust Christ completely. To be contented and unafraid when going on a life's journey. Like a journey of a child with his father, a child is unable to imagine events but a child will know and trust his father. Jesus Christ is our all in all. We need but trust Him and He will take care of the rest. A purified and Spirit-controlled Christian is the gift of seeing which is the ability to peer beyond the dead spirit's (unsaved) wonder upon the beauties and mysteries of things holy and eternal. God is self-existent and self-contained and knows what no creature can ever know Himself. "The things of God know no man, but the Spirit of God." We base our hope in God alone and an attribute, is not a part of God but rather an attribute is how God is, and as far as the reasoning mind can go. If what we conceive God to be He is not, how then shall we think of Him? Do we think of Him as a wealthy parent who will give everything we ask for or do we think of Him as our Creator who loves us deeply that He will take care of us no matter what. He is asking us to have Faith in Him, not have Faith in what He can give you.
