By Faith Alone…
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your behalf and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who have not personally seen my face, that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself,in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
Colossians 2:1-3
It is by faith alone that we understand the mystery of God, namely, Christ. It is by faith alone that we come to see who He really is. Who He is, in all of His depth, width, breadth, and length, is the mystery, the great secret of God.
Through all of the Mosaic law, through all of the tabernacle, through all of the feasts, it is Jesus that there, right there. He is the heavenly tabernacle, He is the rock in the wilderness. He is the scarlet thread hanging in Rahab’s window. He is the branch cast upon the waters to make the ax-head float.
