THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL

        Jesus Christ says to His disciples and saints that His messages are given in parables because it is meant for them to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God, Mat. 13:11. The mystery of God's Kingdom is a mystery to all religions, including today's professing Christianity. Oh yes, they all think they know and teach the mystery of the Gospel, but their fruit and lives prove otherwise, because the mystery of the Kingdom deals with a spiritual conversion-a total change to become as Paul says, a new creature-being born again, Gal.6:15. By their fruit you shall know them, Mat. 7:15-16. The mystery of the Kingdom is about being given eternal life in God's Kingdom, and to understand this truth requires that every person desiring eternal life must be willing  to conform to what Christ commands of them in their life, because the mystery of the Kingdom is about man accepting or rejecting the opportunity Christ has made available to all men. This opportunity requires every person desiring eternal life to come to know the Messenger and Savior-Jesus Christ sent from God's Kingdom to the earth by God the Father, and not only to know Jesus Christ  as Savior, but also  to understand His message He brought, of what He requires of every sinner desiring salvation.

       Jesus Christ is a mystery to the world and so is His Message.  The Christian world does not know the Christ who the Father sent, nor do they know His message. This Christ  of the Bible and His message, is a mystery to professed Christians-a mystery that they can't understand. So today's Christianity has created false christs, that they think they understand so they can preach about in their false churches.Why is this so, because man in his professed religion will not submit or conform to what the Father and Jesus Christ commands  of them, and that is to repent of breaking His commandments-all ten of them, along with  every statute that applies to God's 10 commandments-His law of love. This is something they will not repent of, so their understanding continues to be darkened.

The Son of God came to be man's Savior by first living a sinless life to qualify and be accepted by God the Father, by dying in man's place, so that man will not have to give or pay for his own sins if he is repentant, and in faith accepts Christ's substitutionary death.

        There is a payment of death to be paid for any commandment that is broken by man, so then man in his repentance must repent of breaking all 10 of God's commandments, or else man still stands to be judged by the law of God in the final judgment by whatever commandment he is still breaking, and refuses to repent and confess, James 2:10-11.   Christ's death covered the payment or judgment of each one of those 10 commandments and statutes, and man after his repentance, must accept Christ's shed blood-His sacrifice as the fulfillment of man's commandment transgression, to be justified of the law's penalty. After this takes place, God promises to give  any repentant sinner His Holy Spirit, to help him keep all His commandments, Acts 2:38, and to keep them with their intended purpose, beginning in his heart  and written in his heart.

       Christ makes Himself known as well as His Message through His Holy days and Sabbaths, which continually reminds and renews all of God's requirements for man's salvation. God's Holy Days, if kept with their intended meaning, make plain and reveal the mystery of the Kingdom of God. The mystery of the Gospel is understanding and knowing the true revealed Christ, and His true message that God the Father sent to this earth, and it is Their desire for all to repent, and  that none would perish and accept the opportunity of  receiving eternal life in their Kingdom, II Pet.3:9. The mystery of the Gospel and the mystery of the Kingdom of God,  is about the conversion of the sinner to a saint, about being born again, and understanding- knowing  and accepting the Bible, revealed Christ and Savior. It is about crucifying the human nature, and taking on God's nature by His spirit,  and submitting to His every Word-the Bible, revealed Message of Jesus Christ, to accomplish this great MIRACLE..

         The professed churches of God and Jesus Christ, teach and preach a mis-focused and perverted Gospel that leads believers away from the heart and focus of the revealed Christ. There are many false christs worshipped today, and many perverted and mis-focused gospels believed and accepted for salvation, but the DAY is coming very soon that all of these false gospels of deception and false christs will be uncovered for what they are, II Thes. 2:7-12. God told man in the very beginning (Gen. 3:22) that man must put forth his hand-change his heart and life to choose and eat of the "tree of life" (submitting to what God commands) if man desires to live forever. Man has to reject, abhor and hate the knowledge of "the tree of good and evil," this being his human nature, the way of life that been passed on to him from generation to generation, the way of life that permits him to follow his own standard and laws, and to break God's commandments, or greatly minimize them rather than follow God's standards--His 10 commandments. God's commandments are His laws of love, and to live by them is to eat and live from His "tree of life."

Pro. 11:30 says, The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that wins souls is wise." Rev. 22:14 says "blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life".

        The mystery of the Gospel consists of choosing the "tree of life"-God's love, and rejecting the "tree of good and evil"-knowledge accepted as human nature. False christs and false gospels of today's professed Christianity revolve around  "the tree of good and evil"-human nature not "the tree of life."  The "tree of life" is living God's way, the way of His commandments, through the power of God's Holy Spirit, living in man and directing his every step, that He promises to give to every repentant and Christ-accepting person.

      People today are not putting forth their hand with actions of repentance in their lives to learn of the "tree of life" and accept the REVEALED MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL. WHY? Because they are not humble (they are rich, proud and have need of nothing, or have been trained by some "great" religious one at some college) and are not willing to learn to be pliable, and are like old wine skins that are not able to handle new wine, Luke 5:37. Secondly, they have been so "dumbed-down" concerning what is sin, and what constitutes true repentance, that people don't know right from wrong, sin from righteousness, and light from darkness. Thirdly, the Christian world has been introduced to a false christ that has permeated the whole Christian world with a false, perverted, watered down, Gospel message. Many have been so turned off to religion because of all its show, hypocrisy and confusion, and they feel there is no God-directed way to turn because there no one to lead the way. Today's religion is a terrible wilderness of division and confusion, with no one pointing them in the direction of the true, revealed Christ, and His revealed Gospel Message and making plain the mystery of the Gospel.

          It is now God's will to help all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, Eph. 3:9.  Paul asked the saints in his time to pray that he would be given extra power to open his mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel, Eph. 6:18-19. Paul says in I Tim. 3:16, "Great is the mystery of godliness," which is the mystery of the Gospel. The mystery of godliness is how a sinner (all have sinned), can become a saint to live forever, how conversion takes place in one's heart and must take place to be given salvation by Christ. Sinners must be converted from following their own way of human, fleshly nature, to following God 's Holy Spirit and His spiritual way of life. Christ said man must come to a understanding in his heart to be converted-to understand the mysteries of God. Mat.13:11-17, Mark 4 :11-17. A very sobering Scripture that a sinner needs to take to heart is what Christ said in Mat. 18:3-4, "Except you be converted and humble yourself, you shall not enter the Kingdom of God." Peter's Feast of Pentecost message revealed the Gospel-the mystery of godliness, by telling all the believers what they must do, and that was to repent and be converted and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, to be forgiven of their sins, Acts 2:38, 3;19.

         Repentance and faith are required to convert the heart from the flesh and its desires to the spirit and all of its fruit.   A person must be born again as Christ has commanded, from his fleshly-mind, to a spiritual mind and heart.The problem in today's Christianity is that Satan and his professed Christ ministers have created a mystery surrounding repentance, and what is faith, and a mystery of what is conversion, and being born again, so as to confuse the revealed Bible-manifested Word --Jesus Christ and His Gospel. They will pay for all their deception, Mat. 7:23, Mat. 23:27-33, II Thes. 1:7-10.

          The mystery of the Gospel is revealed through God's Holy Days and their meaning. If one is not keeping His commanded Holy Days, one is not understanding the mystery of Christ and His message. They cannot understand the meaning of Jesus Christ and His required Passover-offering for salvation. They cannot understand what is true repentance, and what are the sins everyone must confess and repent to receive Jesus Christ as one's Passover.They will not understand what it means to eat the bread of Christ, or to receive His Holy Spirit. These important facts of the Gospel are all covered in the meaning of God's spring Holy Days which God calls His Feast Days,  Lev. 23:1-44. The fall Holy Days of God reveal to Christ's disciples the time of God's judgment on the earth and when it will happen, along with when Christ and His Gospel is to be manifested, made known on a scale that covers the earth. God's spring Holy Days make known the mystery of the Gospel to a chosen few now-His Firstfruits, even though many are called and the fall Holy Days represent the mystery of the Gospel being made known to all the earth at a later time and judgment. Study Rev. 10:7, Rev. 11:3, Luke 17:30, Rev. 14:6-10, Rev. 20:1-15.

        The Gospel is a mystery to the world because people do not fear God,  and His coming judgment. They do not believe His Word and  as such, are unbelievers who  will not enter His rest because of their unbelief-lack of submission, and are rebellious to God and His Word,  nor do they desire to know Him or take the time in their life to know Him, and His plan for their life. So, the best kept secret and mystery in the world will remain a mystery to the world until the end of  this time. "In the days of the seventh trumpet the mystery of God shall be finished," Rev. 10:7.
