The Mysteries Paul Revealed — Secrets Hidden Since the World Began

B26L12 📖 What are the "mysteries" Paul keeps talking about in his epistles? In this study of 1 Corinthians 4, we trace every occurrence of the word "mystery" through Paul's letters — from Romans to Colossians — and uncover the secrets God kept hidden from the foundation of the world until He revealed them to the Apostle Paul. These are doctrines you will not find in the Old Testament, in Jesus' earthly ministry, or in Peter's teaching — they belong exclusively to the dispensation of the grace of God. This lesson begins in 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, where Paul calls believers "stewards of the mysteries of God" — managers entrusted with divine secrets. From there, Les takes you on a Scripture-wide journey through every mystery in Paul's epistles: Romans 11:25 (the partial blindness of Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles), Romans 16:25 (the gospel kept secret since the ages began), 1 Corinthians 2:7 (the hidden wisdom of God that the princes of this world did not know), 1 Corinthians 13:2 and 14:2 (mysteries in the context of spiritual gifts), and the crown jewel — 1 Corinthians 15:51 (the rapture — a secret never before revealed that a generation of believers will not die but be changed in the twinkling of an eye). The study then moves to Paul's prison epistles: Ephesians 1:9 (the mystery of God's will to gather all things in Christ), Ephesians 3:1-9 (Gentiles as joint heirs with Christ — a concept Israel never had in their covenant promises), Colossians 1:26-27 (Christ in you, the hope of glory — that Christ dwells in Gentiles), Colossians 2:2 (the full assurance of understanding the mystery), and Colossians 4:3 (the mystery of Christ for which Paul was in bonds). 🔑 Key Topics Covered: What does "steward of the mysteries of God" mean in 1 Corinthians 4:1-2?
