Things secret and revealed

The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:29) ~~~~~~ This sermon was preached into the Australian Churches from England. ~~~~~~ *1/ Israel's literal salvation - Romans 9-11 2/ The Gospel - Romans 10:4-10 3/ In our lives - Things secret and revealed.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on Deuteronomy 29:29, distinguishing between the secret things belonging to God and the revealed truths meant for God's people and their children to obey, emphasizing that salvation is not earned by human effort but secured by God's sovereign grace through faith in Christ. It unfolds the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility, showing how the Mosaic covenant, though unkept by Israel due to their hardened hearts, points forward to a new covenant where God promises to circumcise the heart and write His law within His people—a promise fulfilled in the Gospel through Christ's atoning work and the Holy Spirit's inward transformation. The sermon applies this to both national Israel, whose future restoration is rooted in God's faithfulness, and to individual believers, who are called not to pry into divine mysteries but to live obediently in response to the revealed Word, trusting that God's hidden purposes are good and His revealed will is sufficient for faith and life. Ultimately, it calls for a life of humble submission, where faith in Christ alone is the foundation, and obedience is the fruit, not the cause, of salvation.
