What word does Paul use profusely in his letters?

Paul uses the word “mystery” profusely in his letters, drawn from the Greek mysterion, meaning secret. This connects to Deuteronomy 29, where secret things belong to the Lord, and God reveals hidden things in His time. The idea is that God hides truth until He is ready to reveal it.

Les teaches that when you get to the letters of Paul, the word he uses profusely through his letters is the word “mystery.” He explains that the other word from the Greek is mysterion, meaning a secret. This ties back to Deuteronomy 29, where Moses writes by inspiration that the secret things belong unto the Lord our God. Les connects this to progressive revelation: God does not tell us everything back in Genesis, but He reveals things as we come up through time, hiding in time what He wants hidden and revealing it when He is ready.
