Secret Revealed

Psa 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.


The secret of the Lord.


Pro 3:32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.


Rom 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Rom 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen…


Mat 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.


Psa 78:1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Psa 78:3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
Psa 78:4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.


Secrets.


We all have secrets, don't we? Maybe I should say, most of us have secrets. Usually secrets aren't good things but rather things we want to keep hidden, things kept unknown from others. Secrets can be about good things too, right? But those secrets are ones we only keep until it's a the right time to reveal them.


God's secrets-


The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began.
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.


Secrets from the foundation of the world!


Secrets revealed to us!


There is NO doubt that Jesus' coming revealed God more fully to mankind. Until Jesus came- the promise of the Messiah's arrival was the hope that kept His true believers part of God's true covenant. The promise of full salvation lay in the revelation of God's unfolding plan for their lives. They knew all the ceremonial rituals that pointed to the Messiah. The coming Messiah was their hope.


Since the foundation of the world.


When sin entered the world a promise was made-


Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.


The one who defied God would be destroyed.
There would be hatred between the evil one and those who are God's.
Good and evil were proclaimed and the promise given, a promise that needed to be realized.
The promise was realized in our Savior.
When our Savior died the promise was sealed once and for all.


Before our Savior sealed the promise of salvation with His life He revealed His Father fully to us. He revealed the mercy, the love, the truth of God the Father to us. Things that were a mystery were mysterious no longer but solved by our Savior.


Psa 25:14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.


If we fear the LORD we will understand His covenant. We will understand the promises made to His people realized fully. We will believe through faith in the mystery revealed. The secret of the Lord is realized. We have that secret- the wonderful, wonderful secret. Life eternal is real in our Savior!


All praise and all glory to our Lord and Savior!


Amen!
