The Secret of the Lord Part 4: Insight into Paul’s Divine Calling
In this lesson, we continue our series on The Secret of the Lord by examining one of the most significant transitions in all of Scripture: God’s appointment of the Apostle Paul to reveal a new message for a new dispensation. As anti-Pauline rhetoric increases and biblical truth is challenged on every side, it becomes all the more important for believers to understand the mystery program God revealed through Paul—the gospel of grace.
Psalm 25:14 declares that “the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him,” and this session focuses on how that secret opens with Paul’s divine calling. We trace the events surrounding his conversion, the confirmation of his apostleship, and the distinction between the gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of grace. Through selected passages in Acts, Galatians, and the words of Christ Himself, this study clarifies why God set aside Israel’s national program for a season and began extending salvation to all nations through faith alone.
Key themes include:
• Paul’s encounter with the risen Christ and his appointment as a chosen vessel
• The distinction between the gospel preached by the twelve and the gospel of grace revealed to Paul
• Reference to later discussion of how Israel’s temporary blindness opened the door for the Gentiles
• The Jerusalem disputes and the validation of Paul’s ministry by Peter, James, and John
• Warnings about false apostles and the increasing corruption in the early church
• The importance of rightly dividing Scripture to avoid confusion and deception
This lesson reinforces that understanding God’s mysteries is essential for standing firm in a time of rising apostasy. The same truth Paul received—salvation by grace through faith—remains God’s offer to all who believe today.
