What is the mystery Paul revealed according to this teaching?
The mystery revealed 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 in this life but for all eternity. This secret was hidden from ages and generations but is now made manifest to His saints.
Les teaches that this mystery had never been revealed before. It is that Gentiles, as well as Jews, can be saved by believing on the finished work of the cross and enter into a glorious relationship with Christ, making them joint heirs with Him, not just for this life but for all eternity. He describes it as a glorious prospect and an assurance, not a great doom and judgment or a mere “I hope so.” In Colossians 1:26-27, the mystery was hid from ages and generations but now is made manifest to His saints; God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles. Les says this is plain language: it is the fellowship Gentiles already enjoy and will enjoy forever.
