The Gospel of Paul ... Hidden Mystery Hector Vidales

It is not another definition of the gospel, it is the mystery revealed to the apostle Paul, that permeates through all his epistles. It is the sum of Pauline Christology. Paul develops a conscientious soteriological treatise without ever leaving the deep and systematic Christology: He begins in his salvific promise with the covenant with Abraham, and takes it to a Christ-centered climax under the simple premise of not losing the purpose of giving 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified 1Corinthians 2:2. The apostle also discovers a mystery: This mystery was revealed to him personally by God, a mystery that he describes as the mystery of the gospel, a mystery that had not been revealed. We anticipate: This is not a biblical commentary of the whole Pauline body; it is just finding the hidden mystery of Paul's Gospel. The gospel of Paul that was hidden, but that we have already found tells us: God gives a covenant of Grace to all nations as he made only one people and they are beneficiaries of the inheritance. To receive that inheritance, it was necessary that the law be removed, because the condemnation was redeemed by Christ so that the Gentiles and all other nations would be included. In the same way as the law had to be changed so that the Heavenly priest could take his place instead of the Levitical priest. As Paul's gospel is revealed it shows that eternal redemption brings: -Peace, -Sanctification, -Glorification, -Redemption, -Rest, -An eternal mediator, -Salvation or eternal life, -A better hope, -New creature, -One sacrifice, -A seat to the right of God, -Life to the wicked, -Life to those unable to save themselves, -Solution to sin that condemned, -Joy, -Freedom, -Faith, -Reconciliation, -Liberation of the body of death, -Liberation from the law of sin and death, -We are children of Abba. That gospel shows us now: -That nobody and nothing can separate us from the love of God, or anything in the whole creation, -We are given the gift of God that is eternal life, -We are afforded forgiveness of all sins even when we were in sin.
