"...Secret/Revealed Things"
Deuteronomy 29: 29

"...Secret/Revealed Things"
“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” (Deut. 29: 29). Explain what is probably contextually meant by the secret things of the verse (God’s sovereignty, see vs. 21ff.). There are indeed matters involving God’s sovereignty that are not revealed to man. What is revealed does belong to man. Beginning with slide three, a boarder application of Deuteronomy 29: 29 is attempted.

"...Secret/Revealed Things"
Man is often inquisitive about many matters, some of interest, some trivial, but all “secret.” 1. “Does God have any plans after the Judgment?”

"...Secret/Revealed Things"
Things revealed that should have our interest, attention, and efforts. 1. How to come to God (cp. Rom. 10: 16). 2. How to please Him (Tit. 2: 11-14). 3. The church (Matt. 16: 18). 4. Heaven and hell (Rev. 22; Matt. 25: 46). 5. Relationships (Eph. 5: 22-6: 4…).

"...Secret/Revealed Things"
“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” (Deut. 29: 29). End by stressing what is revealed and man’s consequent duty to these revealed matters. There can be material for two sermons.
