RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH! Pastor J. C. O’Haor

 

In II Timothy 2:15 Christians are instructed to rightly divide the Word of Truth, so that they might be approved by God as workmen not ashamed. Christians are also expected to be like the noble Bereans, who received the Word with all readiness of mind and then searched the Scriptures daily to determine whether the message they heard was true. (Acts 17:11).

Ministers of Christ are expected to be faithful stewards of the mysteries of God. (I Corinthians 4:1 to 4). In Paul’s writings we read of ‘the mystery of God’s will’ (Ephesians 1:9); ‘the mystery of the gospel’ (Ephesians 6:19 and 20), ‘the mystery of Christ’ (Colossians 4:3 and 4 and Ephesians 3:1 to 3); ‘the dispensation of the mystery’ (Ephesians 3:9). We read this truth in Romans 16:25: “Now to Him that is able to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of ‘the mystery’ kept secret since the world began.” In Ephesians 3:8 the Holy Spirit referred to the mystery kept secret since the world began as ‘the unsearchable (past-tracing-out) riches of Christ.’ If that truth was kept secret since the world began, ‘hid in God’ from the beginning of the world (Ephesians 3:9), ‘hid from ages and from generations’ (Colossians 1:26), it was not prophesied or mentioned in any of the Books from Genesis to Malachi. Therefore it was not ‘searchable,’ as was the truth of Acts 17:3 to 11.

aul testified that he received his ‘grace’ gospel, by revelation, from the risen Christ. (Galatians 1:11 and 12). Paul testified that ‘the dispensation of the grace of God,’ ‘the mystery,’ was given him by revelation; that Christ revealed it unto him after it had been hid for more than 4000 years. (Ephesians 3:1 to 3).ans 11:25 we learn that God ushered in a period of very special favour for Gentiles when and because He sent blindness upon Israel (Romans 11:9 to 15). This period and reign of grace is now running its course, and will end with the realization of the blessed hope, the appearing in glory of the Lord Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13), at which time the members of his Body will appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:3 and 4—I John 3:2—Philippians 3:20 and 21
