'Secret' in the Bible
When I came to you, brothers, I didn't come and tell you about God's secret with rhetorical language or wisdom.
Instead, we speak about God's wisdom in a hidden secret, which God destined before the world began for our glory.
For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:
So then, let us [who minister] be regarded as servants of Christ and stewards (trustees, administrators) of the mysteries of God [that He chooses to reveal].
So do not go on passing judgment before the appointed time, but wait until the Lord comes, for He will both bring to light the [secret] things that are hidden in darkness and disclose the motives of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.
And if I have the gift of prophecy [and speak a new message from God to the people], and understand all mysteries, and [possess] all knowledge; and if I have all [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love [reaching out to others], I am nothing.
For one who speaks in an unknown tongue does not speak to people but to God; for no one understands him or catches his meaning, but by the Spirit he speaks mysteries [secret truths, hidden things].
His secret, inner heart will become known, and so he will bow down to the ground and worship God, declaring, "God is truly among you!"
Let me tell you a secret. Not all of us will die, but all of us will be changed
