What assurance do believers have about the mystery instead of doom and judgment?
Believers have assurance that the mystery is not doom and judgment but a glorious eternal relationship with Christ. Gentiles and Jews are saved by believing on the finished work of the cross, become joint heirs with Him, and enjoy this fellowship with Christ now and forever.
Les teaches that the mystery is that Gentiles as well as Jews can be saved by believing on the finished work of the cross and enter a glorious relationship with Christ as joint heirs, not only for this life but for all eternity. He contrasts this with some great doom and judgment or a vague "I hope so and I think maybe." Instead, believers have the assurance that this mystery is the fellowship Gentiles already enjoy. He points to Colossians 1:26–27, where the mystery hidden from ages and generations is now made manifest to the saints, and God makes known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles.
