I don't know if this is the best time to post in this forum or if I should do this being such a new member, but here goes.
One of the first things I learned as a believer was that God would make known the mystery of His will and the mystery of fellowship to every believer that trusted in Christ (Eph 1:9, Eph 3:9). What was so amazing to me is that God would make the promise of His will and fellowship a mystery, something that was hid and He would make it known. I wondered as a young believer how He would do that. There was one thing I was sure of, and it remains the same even today, God would be faithful to what He has promised and I could trust Him completely. This seemed to be the same for so many other believers that I got to know in the assembly and even the fellowship I was having with them seemed to be an unfolding mystery.
There were three things that seemed to contribute to making these mysteries known, 1) the faithful preaching of God's word, 2) the grace of God that was given, 3) the love of God among the believers. The Holy Spirit was involved in all three areas and was responsible for guiding each one into an understanding of these mysteries. With so many on this site from various parts of the world and knowing that all believers have the same Spirit and promises from God, did any of you have the same or similar guidance from God in revealing these great mysteries in the body of Christ?
