Welcome To The Mystery

     The existence of a veil to the mystery is, therefore, a great mercy: for with a full knowledge of the mystery a falling off from righteousness is foreshadowed, and such will be the case in the end; in fact, this state of things has been predicted again and again, and that desolations and extreme wickedness shall prevail at the time of the end. The people must not deceive themselves with the belief that their unrighteousness will be counted for righteousness, even though man was predestined and called according to a purpose. Unrighteousness is unbelief, and unbelief leads to death. But belief or faith is counted for righteousness, and through faith comes life. The faith which leads to justification is not shown by unrighteous works, for unrighteous works are the offering of unbelief, but the faith which justifieth is like the "earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiving blessing from God."
