is the gospel and mystery of Jesus Christ hid to the lost?

II Corinthians 4:3-6

Gospel and knowledge of Jesus Christ is hid to the lost. The Lord tells us in the aforementioned scripture (II Corinthians 3:13-18) that the children of Israel cannot see him because of the veil. Likewise, the Gentiles cannot see the mystery of Jesus because of unbelief.

I do believe that the Jews will be given another opportunity to accept their Messiah - Jesus Christ. The Gentiles will have had their opportunity to follow the directions of Peter in Acts 2:38, the first sermon of the great commission. (Matthew 16:18-19, 28:19, Acts 2:38). The Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ and the keys of the kingdom of heaven are #1. Repent #2. Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins #3. Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (II Thessalonians 1:7-8).

I am really concerned about the ones who choose not to see or cannot see the gospel and mystery of Christ; for the scriptures tell us, they are lost. You must understand that there is one person in the Godhead and God has given us the understanding of the knowledge and mystery of Christ. The knowledge of the glory of God is seen in the face of “one person,” Jesus Christ and we are complete in him (Colossians 2:9-10, Hebrews 1:3,8).

I would like to admonish you to prayerfully search the scriptures with all your heart and soul and the Lord will reveal himself to you. Then go to Acts 2:38 and follow the directions that were given to Peter and the apostles by our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ. The gates of hell shall not prevail against the rock of our salvation, which is the baptism in Jesus name. The name of Jesus Christ is the Rock upon which the church is built by baptism. (Matthew 16:18-19).

We put on the rock by the baptism in Jesus name. (Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:27). The importance of the gospel message is that God was in Christ and salvation is in his name by baptism. (the Rock) (John 1:10, Romans 6:3-4, I Corintians 10:4, II Corinthians 5:19, Colossians 2:12, Revelation 1:8).

Is Jesus Christ the Rock (God) of Israel?

I Corinthians 10:1-4

Jesus is the Rock (God) of Israel. The first thing we must understand is that God is the Rock of Israel (Deuteronomy 32:1-4). Let’s look at II Samuel 22:2-3. God is our rock, our salvation and our Saviour. Wait a minute, our Saviour? How many saviours do we have? Isn’t Jesus Christ our Saviour (Luke 2:11)? God is the rock of our salvation (II Samuel 22:47). Guess what? That’s right. According to the New Testament, Jesus is the rock of our salvation. Look at this: (II Samuel 22:32). For who is God, save the Lord? And who is a rock, save our God? How can the Bible be more explicit than this? These scriptures show us without a doubt that God is our rock and that rock is our Lord Jesus Christ.

In Psalms 18:2, God again explains to us that he is our rock, deliverer and the horn of our salvation. Look at Psalms 18:31. God tells us again the same thing that he said in II Samuel 22:32. For who is God save the Lord? And who is a rock save our God? Who is God save the Lord. One Lord = Jesus Christ = Jesus is Lord God Almighty. (Acts 10:36, Revelation 1:8,11, 22:13).

Now that we have established that God is the rock, let’s get an understanding through the scriptures that Jesus is that Rock and that Jesus is the only God. Look at this scripture: (I Corinthians 10:4). “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” Guess what? Christ had not been born yet. God is letting us know through Paul that the name of his Spirit is Jesus Christ (the Rock of our salvation). In Matthew 16:18-19, Jesus gives Peter the keys to lay the foundation of salvation on his name which is the Rock. Let’s look at Acts 2:38. The foundation of salvation is laid on the Rock – Jesus Christ. How was the name and Rock, Jesus Christ, used in salvation?

The name and Rock were used by the baptism in Jesus name for remission of sins. The name of Jesus Christ is the Rock of our salvation. Upon this Rock Jesus built the Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Why would God say that the gates of hell would not prevail? In my mind, God knew in his infinite wisdom that Satan would try to destroy the true gospel of Jesus Christ. The true gospel message is wrapped up in Acts 2:38 and God will not allow Satan to destroy it.

Therefore to understand what God is saying and how the message of salvation is built on a rock, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the same God and the same Rock who talked to Moses, the prophets, and Paul on Damascus Road (Luke 24:27). He is our refuse, the horn of our salvation and our Saviour. Jesus Christ is the one who followed the children of Israel out of Egypt, in his Spirit form, as the Father (I Corinthians 10:4). Therefore, salvation is built on the power of Jesus name by baptism. Jesus Christ is the one God of our salvation and The Rock of Israel.

This scripture in Corinthians is so plain that sometimes I wonder, how many scriptures does God need for one to believe that Jesus Christ is the one and only true God of heaven and earth.

Look at this: John 13:19, 20. Jesus says, whomsoever I send, in my Spirit form as the Father, receiveth me and he that receiveth me receiveth the God that sent me. Jesus is saying I’m God and I sent myself, in the flesh, as the Son of God. And whosoever receives the Son, receives the Father also (I John 2:21-23). Why? Because the Father is in the body of Jesus(Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9). If you receive the Son, you will receive the Father because Jesus is the Father (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9).

is the one true God's name Jesus Christ?

I Corinthians 8:6-7

There is one God. The Old Testament and the New Testament proclaims the oneness of God. Jesus Christ is the Father and the one mighty God who visited the earth in the flesh (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:10, 14, John 14:9). Jesus Christ created all things in heaven and earth, and he and he alone is God (John 1:10, Colossians 1:14-19). How is it that all men won’t believe the revelation of these things based on the scriptures?

If one would only believe in the name and doctrine of Christ, then they would be saved. Believers will repent, get baptized in the name of Jesus for remission of sins, for a good conscience toward God, then receive the Holy Spirit (I Peter 3:21, Acts 2:38). In the Revised Standard Version and the Twentieth Century New Testament Version of the Bible, good conscience is translated as “clear conscience” toward God.

Remember, salvation is built on the name of Jesus Christ, the Rock, by baptism which gives us a clear conscience toward God (Acts 4:12, Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12, Colossians 3:17). Jesus Christ is the rock of Israel and the Rock of our salvation. In other words, the baptism in Jesus name is the rock upon which the church is built. (Matthew 16:18-19, Acts 2:38).
