What "great and unsearchable things" might God reveal to us today? Hearing the Invitation “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3) Defining “Great and Unsearchable” • “Great” points to immense, extraordinary truths that dwarf human insight. • “Unsearchable” (lit. “fortified, inaccessible”) pictures realities locked behind walls we cannot scale without God’s help. • God alone holds the key, and His promise is that He willingly opens the gate when we come to Him. Channels Through Which God Reveals Today • Scripture—our primary, sufficient source (2 Timothy 3:16-17). • The Holy Spirit illuminating the written Word (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). • Providential circumstances that align with biblical principles (Romans 8:28). • The fellowship of believers as gifts function in Christ’s body (Ephesians 4:11-13). Great and Unsearchable Truths Already Unveiled • The mystery of the Incarnation—God with us (John 1:14). • The New Covenant, written on hearts (Hebrews 8:10-12). • The indwelling Spirit, sealing and empowering (Ephesians 1:13-14). • Jew and Gentile united in one body (Ephesians 3:6). • The coming resurrection and glorification (1 Corinthians 15:51-53). Personal Dimensions God Still Unfolds • Assurance of salvation that banishes fear (1 John 5:13). • Specific guidance for obedient living (Psalm 32:8). • Deeper victory over besetting sin (Romans 6:14). • Purpose in suffering, refining faith like gold (1 Peter 1:6-7). Corporate Dimensions for the Church • Fresh vision for global gospel advance (Matthew 28:19-20). • Strategies for caring for the poor and oppressed (James 1:27). • Uncommon unity that silences skepticism (John 17:23). • Revival marked by repentance and holiness (2 Chronicles 7:14). Guardrails for Discernment • Nothing revealed will contradict Scripture (Galatians 1:8). • Truth builds up rather than puffs up (1 Corinthians 8:1). • Fruit of the Spirit accompanies genuine insight (Galatians 5:22-23). Positioning Ourselves to Receive • Call—earnest, humble prayer. • Listen—linger in the Word, expecting insight. • Obey—walk in the light already given (John 14:21). • Worship—magnify God, not the revelation itself (Psalm 29:2). The Ultimate Great and Unsearchable Thing We are destined to see His face and reign with Him forever (Revelation 22:3-4). Every present unveiling is a foretaste of that breathtaking, eternal disclosure. |
