Colossians 1:26-27 “the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. (27) To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
As quoted in the above passage of scripture, the mystery of the gospel that was revealed to the apostle Paul is Christ, our hope of glory, dwelling in us. Clearly it is because the saints have been baptized into Christ, that we are in Christ and Christ is in us. The apostle Paul referred to this truth as a mystery, and like all mysteries unless someone explains it to us it remains just that, a mystery. Fortunately for the church, the Lord gave the apostle Paul full understanding of this particular mystery and he in turn has revealed it to us in his writings. Sadly however, this mystery is not clearly understood or taught in the church, because of which very few believers experience in this life, the full benefit of this biblical truth.
