1 Timothy 3:9 KJV
Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
There are two mysteries spoken of in this chapter
• The mystery of the faith and
• The mystery of godliness
A Biblical mystery is something that was hidden in the Old Testament but has been revealed in the New Testament through the Gospel.
Briefly summed all of those mysteries are:
• That God became man in Jesus Christ and being man, he became sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
• That all those who receive Christ receive this righteousness, regardless of race or nationality
• That those who have received this righteousness are then bound together through the relationship we receive with each other in the local church.
A deacon is to hold this faith in a pure conscience. He is to not merely believe it, but to practice it both in mind, word and in heart.
And if a deacon is to hold this mystery in a pure conscience it is to be an example that the rest of the body of the church do the same.
