In Scripture, a mystery is a divine truth that can only be revealed by God. Through Christ, God created one new humanity—no longer divided by male or female, Jew or Gentile. We have become one nation, one people, welcomed into His kingdom. And now, through the Holy Spirit, we have been made the very dwelling place of God!
We truly received an upgrade from what Adam and Eve experienced. They heard the Father’s voice externally—on the wind. But because we have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, His voice now speaks from within us. Through the Spirit, the curse has been reversed.
Because of His indwelling presence, we can expect the glory and love of God to be revealed in us. This glory brings unity among believers, and His indwelling establishes us firmly in the faith.
Paul’s goal was that every believer would receive the revelation of Christ and understand that we are made perfect in Him. Perfect here means “it is finished.” We become the finished work of Christ!
