By God's grace, I have learned a thing or two in the 44 years since I became a born-again Christian at age 13 in 1980. I have read many Bible commentaries but have often been disappointed that theologians avoid commenting on the passages I looked up. Therefore, my goal in this blog is not to comment on the entire Holy Bible; but rather, to share what I have learned. To God alone be ALL the praise and credit. Jesus is precious!

Ephesians 6:19 - The Mystery Of The Gospel

Paul wrote in 𝗘𝗽𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟲:𝟭𝟵, “𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹,” So some fool who thinks he knows more than God reads into the Scripture what it doesn't say, going off half-cocked claiming the lie that the Gospel was a "mystery" revealed to Paul. We know that is a load of crap. Read what Paul says in 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝟯:𝟵, “𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.” Was faith a mystery too?

The Bible says after Jesus was crucified, buried and risen, that many people traveled to Jerusalem inquiring about Jesus. Anna was 84 years old and already preaching THE GOSPEL long before Paul arrived on the scene. 𝗟𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝟮:𝟯𝟳-𝟯𝟴, “𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗺.” Anna was a soulwinner! When strangers came to town wanting to know about Jesus and how to find redemption, she taught them the Gospel.

If you look in Luke 24:13-27 you will find Jesus in His resurrected body preaching THE GOSPEL to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, long before Paul received the Gospel. This disproves the FAKE NEWS that the Gospel was a "mystery" until Jesus also gave it to Paul (Galatians 1:12).

Acts 10:43 teaches that remisison of sins by faith in Christ was the SAME message preached by ALL THE PROPHETS. Paul didn't preach a new Gospel. Please don't believe any liar who tries to convince you that Paul preached a different Gospel than Jesus, or that Peter preached a different Gospel than Paul, or that Moses preached a different Gospel than Jesus. There has always been only one plan of salvation, and it is the Good News that FAITH IN CHRIST brings salvation.
