What is the mystery of God?

So many people are looking for something.  Some think they have it, some do not care, some are looking all there life, and it even gets to the point to where some people get so frustrated that they take their own life.  Also, I have talked with people that base everything on what someone has told them without doing the research themselves.

The passage below defines what I think people are looking for:

This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it’s out in the open. God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple. That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. That’s what I’m working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.  Colossians 1:26-29(MSG)

What people are looking for is Christ.  No more and no less.  This message needs to be investigated, studied, and a decision needs to be made based on an individual basis.

Have you tried picking up the Bible, reading it, and seeking truth?

Try this:

1. Pick up the Bible
2. Ask God to help you see and hear His message
3. Open the Bible
4. Read it

Have you over complicated the Message?  Have you added to it?  Do you know if someone is telling you the truth or not?
