Talking Points 11

The Mystery of God’s Will
Ephesians 1:9-10
9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,
10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him. (NKJV)

Only a few people understand the “mystery of His will.”

But if you read this it shall become apparent…unless the power to believe has not been given to you.

Some may think that they read and understand English very well, but that has nothing to do with reading and understanding the Bible.

The simple fact is that according to God’s good pleasure which He purposed within Himself is that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He shall gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.

His plan for the ages includes all of creation!

Due to the sin nature that is resident in all humanity we long to see our enemies punished.

However, the “mystery of the Father’s will is to bring all of creation under the headship…the leadership of His Son, Our Lord, Christ Jesus.

For far too many, God’s will is still a mystery!
