\u201cAnd without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.<\/strong>\u201d
I Timothy 3:16 <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At some point in one\u2019s life, a person become cognizant that\nthere is something off \u2013 that they may be a good person, but that it isn\u2019t\nenough in the grand scheme of things. They begin to recognize sin. Sin<\/em><\/strong>\nmeans \u201cmissing the true goal and scope of life; offense in relation to God\nwith the emphasis on the resulting guilt. See Romans 3:23.<\/em>\u201d The realization\nof sin (and the conviction that follows) may come through a dream, a crisis in\none\u2019s life, a \u201clight-bulb\u201d moment (a time when something you heard before is suddenly\nunderstood), a conversation, a world-event, a simple call (that recognition of\npersonal sin) during a reading of God\u2019s Word, or many other instances. Keep in\nmind that at this point, reason may try to set in, justification in one\u2019s mind.\nSometimes they are words from loved ones declaring that this is a \u201ccrazy\u201d idea\n\u2013 not acceptable in the world today. They may have you consider your future \u2013\njob, family, your lifestyle, etc. There may be many who try to dissuade you!\nThey may even give you an \u201calternate solution\u201d for your current conviction; to\nchallenge its reality and validity (some may mock by saying that the Bible is a\nbook of myths and legends, and that no one should believe it). However, there\nmust be a certain amount of understanding of the life choices one makes \u2013 the\npenalty for sin and the reward for Faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When one feels this \u201cbothering\u201d (conviction of sin), they\nneed to understand why. One should search out this matter, understanding the\nmystery behind it: the greatest mystery of all time, which many do not\nunderstand \u2014 because it must be revealed to them. What is this great mystery? \u201c26. Even<\/em> the mystery which hath been\nhid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27.\nTo whom God would make known what is<\/em> the riches of the glory of this\nmystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory<\/strong>\u201d\n(Colossians 1:26-27). Notice that this great mystery has only been made known\nto \u201chis saints\u201d (Christians, those who trust in Jesus). It has been hidden from\neveryone else (the lost, those who are not Christians \u2013 those apart from\nChrist), and they cannot understand this mystery. This lack of understanding is\nthe condition of one who becomes under conviction of sin. It is important that\none set out to understand this great mystery. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question is, \u201cHow does one understand the great mystery\nof all times and the things of God?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important for that one who feels this conviction to go\nto one that can help him find the answer to this mystery \u2013 a Christian; one who\nhas God\u2019s Word, the Bible. What does this person have the ability to do? \u201c25. Now to him that is of power to stablish\nyou according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the\nrevelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26. But\nnow is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the\ncommandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience\nof faith<\/strong>\u201d (Romans 16:25-26). Only by the gospel message of Jesus Christ\nbeing preached (declared from the Bible by individuals) can this great mystery\nbe understood. It is revealed in Jesus and made known to us through the\nScriptures. And the desire to discover the answer comes with that conviction. \u201c44.\nNo man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I\nwill raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And\nthey shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath\nlearned of the Father, cometh unto me<\/strong>\u201d (John 6:44-45).\nAnyone who is drawn by God wants to know this great mystery. It is then that\nthe search begins. That is when the mystery will be revealed: \u201cAnd without controversy great is the\nmystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,\nseen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received\nup into glory.<\/strong>\u201d (I Timothy 3:16) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus is the\nanswer to the greatest mystery of all times.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you the desire to search out the greatest mystery of all times?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
