THE MYSTERY OF GOD
God's Secret Wisdom
"But we speak of God's Secret Wisdom, a wisdom that has
been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the
rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have
crucified
The Lord of Glory."
I Corinthians 2:7-8
This is 'the hidden Wisdom'—God's Secret Wisdom. It
is The Wisdom Of GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT. The WISDOM OF GOD is a Mystery. It is the hidden
Wisdom, which God ordained before the world began. None of the rulers, princes,
or world's great men of all time understood it.
The Wisdom of God is hidden from the understanding
of the ordinary or natural or sinful man.
For the Scriptures tell us that:
“The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by The
Spirit is Life and Peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit
to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot
please God.”
Romans 8:6-8 NIV
True wisdom is a great gift from God, given only to
those who belong to Christ, who however, are controlled not by the sinful
nature but by The Spirit (v.9).Our words become wise because they are from God.
The carnal mind is dead and is enmity against God
(Rom.8:6, 7).To the mind of the natural or sinful man, the Wisdom and Knowledge
of God remains unfathomable, inscrutable, unsearchable, mysterious, and undiscoverable.
The Lord of Glory destined this Secret Wisdom for
our glory and hid it before time began. Through the Wisdom of The Spirit Of
Christ GOD has revealed to us the Gospel of the Kingdom. The Gospel is not
earthly wisdom; it is heavenly Wisdom—divine Wisdom.
When the spiritually mature Christian who is ripe in
understanding hears the Truth, and receives it into his mind, a higher wisdom
is imparted—a knowledge of the divine Plan previously hidden from him.
The advancement of this Wisdom has nothing to do
with the wisdom of this world or of the rulers and leaders of this age.
This Wisdom, God devised and decreed before ages for
our glorification. This means that, by the revelation of The Wisdom Of God;
which personified is Jesus Christ, He will lift us into the Glory of His
Presence.
The Wisdom of God is a Mystery. But, this mystery
has been unveiled to us by His Spirit.
