The of the Grace of God.

The seven church epistles tell the "all truth" Jesus Christ promised would be revealed. The greatness of the epistles is that they reveal the great mystery of the grace of God. Throughout the epistles the Apostle Paul makes reference to this mystery and clearly states that prior to his receiving this information God had kept it a secret. Therefore it cannot be revealed in the Old Testament or in the Gospels. Only by reading and understanding the seven church epistles can we know that which God had prepared for us and kept a secret since the world began!
