How many times have you heard it said, or said yourself, that the things of God are mysteries we cannot know?

In Mark 4:11 Jesus speaks. "And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables."

Would Jesus keep secrets from His followers? He says we'll know. Paul obviously was privy to the mystery of God, as we read in Ephesians 3:3-4. "How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)." What is this mystery?

In Ephesians 5 we find a beautiful description of the husband and wife relationship. Paul seems to go back and forth between that and the bond between Christ and His church. "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Eph. 5:30-32.

The mystery is completely unraveled in Colossians 1:26-27 "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

It's simple! When we believe in Jesus and act on that belief, He dwells within us, we are one with Him, and we live forever in the glory that is Jesus.
