𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡— “THE AGE OF INFORMATION, BUT THE LACK OF REVELATION”

We live in an era where knowledge is abundant — people can search anything, watch everything, and access the world from their phones.

Yet, the one thing they often reject is the truth of God’s Word rightly divided (2 Timothy 2:15).

Ignorance is not the absence of truth; it is the avoidance of truth.

When people reject the revelation of the Mystery given to Paul, they remain blinded, not because truth isn’t available, but because they don’t want it.

Romans 1:28 says,

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind.”

Let us uncover the layers of this spiritual ignorance in the dispensation of grace, and understand why truth rejected becomes blindness received.

POINT 1: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 — 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗔𝗚𝗘

A. Ignorance in Religion

Romans 10:3 — “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness...”

Many seek salvation by works, refusing the righteousness of Christ revealed through grace.

B. Ignorance in Revelation

Ephesians 3:9 — “To make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery...”

The majority of Christendom ignores Paul’s revelation — the Mystery.

C. Ignorance in Relationship

2 Timothy 3:5 — “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof.”

People know religion, but not a relationship with Christ by grace through faith.

Dispensational Truth: The ignorance today is not in not hearing, but in not heeding. Truth was revealed to Paul for this present age, yet most remain blind to it (2 Corinthians 4:4).

POINT 2: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 — 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

A. Willful Denial

2 Peter 3:5 — “For this they willingly are ignorant of...”

People choose blindness; ignorance becomes a spiritual decision.

B. Worldly Distraction

2 Timothy 4:10 — “Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world.”

The world replaces the Word in many hearts.

C. Wicked Deception

2 Thessalonians 2:10–11 — “They received not the love of the truth.”

Those who reject truth will eventually believe a lie.

Dispensational Truth: God offers grace to all, but man’s free will can refuse it. Rejection of the Pauline gospel isn’t ignorance by accident — it’s ignorance by arrogance.

POINT 3: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗠 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 — 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

A. Darkened Understanding

Ephesians 4:18 — “Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God.”

Rejecting truth leads to spiritual darkness.

B. Deceived Emotions

Romans 1:21–22 — “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”

The ignorant think they are wise because the world praises rebellion.

C. Doctrinal Corruption

1 Timothy 1:7 — “Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say...”

False teachers arise out of ignorance of dispensational truth.

Dispensational Truth: When the church abandons right division, it falls into wrong doctrine — mixing Israel’s promises with the Body’s program.

POINT 4: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 — 𝗧𝗢 𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗨𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗟𝗜𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘

A. Truth Reveals

2 Timothy 3:16 — “All scripture is given by inspiration of God...”

Truth reveals who God is and who man really is.

B. Truth Redeems

Ephesians 1:13 — “After that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.”

The truth of the Gospel of Grace saves souls.

C. Truth Rightly Divides

2 Timothy 2:15 — “Rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Without right division, truth becomes confusion.

Dispensational Truth: God’s truth for today is found in Paul’s epistles, which reveal the grace message for the Body of Christ — free salvation apart from works or law.

POINT 5: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 — 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗣𝗔𝗨𝗟

A. Revealed by Revelation

Galatians 1:11–12 — “The gospel... not after man, but by revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Paul received truth directly from the risen Christ.

B. Recognized by Revelation

1 Corinthians 9:17 — “A dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.”

Paul is the steward of the dispensation of grace.

C. Reaffirmed by Revelation

Romans 16:25 — “According to the revelation of the mystery.”

His message was hidden before, now revealed for today.

Dispensational Truth: To reject Paul’s revelation is to reject the truth for this dispensation — that is the true definition of spiritual ignorance.

POINT 6: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 — 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗

A. Truth Cleanses

John 17:17 — “Sanctify them through thy truth.”

Truth sanctifies the believer from error.

B. Truth Changes

Romans 12:2 — “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Truth renews and reforms thinking according to grace.

C. Truth Confirms

Colossians 2:7 — “Rooted and built up in him.”

Truth establishes believers in sound doctrine.

Dispensational Truth: When believers embrace Paul’s message, their minds are renewed by the Gospel of Grace, not by legalistic religion.

POINT 7: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 — 𝗔 𝗖𝗛𝗨𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦

A. Standing in Faith

1 Corinthians 16:13 — “Stand fast in the faith.”

True faith stands on grace, not on human effort.

B. Speaking with Boldness

Ephesians 6:19–20 — “That I may open my mouth boldly.”

The church must boldly proclaim the Gospel rightly divided.

C. Shining in Darkness

Philippians 2:15–16 — “Shine as lights in the world, holding forth the word of life.”

Truth makes us light-bearers in an ignorant, dark world.

Dispensational Truth: The Body of Christ shines by preaching Paul’s gospel — the message that Satan hates and religion hides.

𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 — “IGNORANCE IS A CHOICE, NOT AN EXCUSE”

Many say, “I didn’t know.”
But the Bible says, “You didn’t want to know.”

Truth is not hidden — it’s avoided.
The revelation of the Mystery is now revealed through Paul, and ignorance today is rebellion against revelation.

“Refusing to hear truth doesn’t make it false — it makes you blind.”

𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 — “CHOOSE TRUTH OVER TRADITION!”

STUDY God’s Word rightly divided (2 Timothy 2:15).
STAND for the Gospel of Grace (Galatians 1:11–12).
SHARE the truth boldly (2 Corinthians 5:18–20).

Don’t just know the truth — want the truth, walk in the truth, and witness of the truth.

𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦:

Ignorance is not innocence — it’s indifference to truth.
Revelation rejected becomes blindness accepted.
Those who rightly divide the Word will never wrongly define God’s will.
