Mysteries of Redemption

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.

Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?

The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them.

…for the LORD detests the perverse, but He is a friend to the upright.

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.

At that time Jesus declared, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,

He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’

The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” …

Now to Him who is able to strengthen you by my gospel and by the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery concealed for ages past

…but now revealed and made known through the writings of the prophets by the command of the eternal God, in order to lead all nations to the obedience that comes from faith—

No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. …

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. …

And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ

…as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

…that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. …

…and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

…will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth

…of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,

I became its servant by the commission God gave me to fully proclaim to you the word of God, …

…that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,

…as you pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.

Pray that I may declare it clearly, as I should.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, was taken up in glory.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets who foretold the grace to come to you searched and investigated carefully, …

But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he begins to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”
