How does God reveal the mystery of Christ to His people?

Answered in 1 source

God reveals the mystery of Christ through preaching and the work of the Holy Spirit, making it understood by those He has chosen.

The revelation of the mystery of Christ to His people is not accomplished through natural means but through the preaching of the gospel and the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians 3:7, Paul describes his role as a minister tasked with preaching Christ, underscoring that understanding the mystery is tied to God's sovereign choice. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where we see that insight into Christ comes when the Spirit opens hearts, as demonstrated by Peter's confession of Christ in Matthew 16:17. Therefore, the act of revealing this mystery continues to occur as the gospel is preached and hearts are transformed by God's grace.
