1 Timothy 3:16 Great is the Mystery of Godliness
1 Timothy 3:16 (NAS)
And by common confession great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.
1 Timothy 3:16 (Philips)
No one would deny that this religion of ours is a tremendous mystery, resting as it does on the one who appeared in human flesh, was vindicated in the spirit, seen by angels; proclaimed among the nations, believed in throughout the world, taken back to Heaven in glory.
1 Timothy 3:16 (NLT)
Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith: Christ appeared in the flesh and was shown to be righteous by the Spirit. He was seen by angels and was announced to the nations. He was believed on in the world and was taken up into heaven.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++From the beginning of time, Satan has tried to make mankind believe that God's word is not true. He wants us to believe that we cannot trust God to keep His word. However, Satan is a liar and the father of lies. It is his word that is not true.
Adonai states that there should not even be a controversy about the Truth of His word. God's word is His covenant to you. He is bound by the words that He speaks; it is His obligation to fulfill His word. And you, therefore, must put yourself in agreement with Him, confessing what God has said, instead of the devil.
There are, however, some things that God keeps silent about; there are mysteries in God that unbelievers cannot understand, unless the Lord gives them the revelation. When Adonai gives that revelation, those who believe can easily perceive the Truth, distinguishing it from Satan's lies.
One of these great mysteries is that of godliness and holiness. The gospel, itself, is a mystery that most of mankind cannot figure out, but you have been given revelation on devotion and worship to the One True God. You know that God took on human flesh; Jesus appeared on the earth in a body that was subject to the same frailties and passions to which you are subject; however, through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was totally innocent, holy, and righteous. Because of that He was able to become the Lamb of God, a sacrifice without blemish or stain.
Before He came to earth, angels beheld Jesus. They were acquainted with Him, cared for Him, and paid heed to His every word. They were His constant attendants. Now you are His attendant, who proclaims the gospel with such authority that those who hear must listen and obey. You persuade nations and peoples to put their trust and confidence in the Messiah's finished work. Through the words you preach, many receive eternal salvation in the Kingdom of God. They are no longer alienated and hostile to God and the cause of Christ. Like you, they believe that once His work on earth was finished, Jesus Christ was received back into Heaven, to reign in glory with His Heavenly Father.
