What are the secret things of God? Google leads you to more than a million different sites that suggest the answer or provide a definition of their own version of the secret things of God. The top hit is a book by Henry Cloud - The Secret Things Of God: Unlocking The Treasures Reserved
For You. That book actually sounds kind of interesting.
I'm inclined to follow Barnes's interpretation that the secret is the gospel, the good news that God will save all mankind through the death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ. God's plan was hidden in a mystery until the time of Christ, but now it has been made known to those he calls. It's still a mystery to unbelievers, and sometimes seems kind of mysterious to those who do believe! Justice is achieved through grace and mercy, and that is a mystery.
Fortunately, we don't need to try and solve the mystery or the secret anymore. That's what is life-changing - God has clearly shown us the way to salvation, if we care to see the truth. If we already have discovered the secret things of God, I believe it's our job to help others unlock the secrets for themselves.
