The Mystery of the Gospel
1 Corinthians 2:7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world to our glory:


I. IN ITS PRINCIPLES. It reveals reconciliation with God,

1. By sacrifice.

2. By the sacrifice of His own dear Son.

II. IN ITS SPIRITUALITY.

1. It is revealed by the Spirit of God.

2. To the spirit of man.

3. By faith.

III. IN ITS DESIGN.

1. To manifest the glory of God.

2. Secure the glorification of man.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
