Summary God reveals His mysteries to His elect, but not to the reprobate. What a privilege for God's elect to have those things that were hidden revealed. There is a lesson here, though, for God's people. The reason your unbelieving friends and family members don't get it is because they are blind and in darkness. Unless God opens their eyes, they cannot see what you are talking about.
All things are summed up in Christ. Everything on earth and in heaven is moving toward the same ultimate end -- the kingdom and glory of Christ.
Christ inherits all things. All things have been given to Him. And so, because believers are in Christ, we likewise will inherit all things, with God Himself as the chief portion of our inheritance.
All things are predestined and are worked out according to God's perfect wisdom and plan. Nothing is an accident. Nothing is a mistake. |
