The mystery of iniquity highlights the deeper, often hidden, nature of sin as it encompasses not just actions but motives.
The mystery of iniquity, as described in the sermon, elucidates that sin is not merely the transgression of the law but involves deeper issues of the heart, such as motives and intentions. It often manifests itself under the guise of religion or good works, leading many to believe they are righteous when they are not. Paul addresses this in Romans 3:9-10 by stating that both Jews and Gentiles are under sin, reinforcing that all humans inherently struggle with sin that goes beyond observable actions. Understanding this mystery is essential for recognizing our need for God’s grace and the transformative work of Christ in our lives.
