UNKNOWN

In the past week, I have been doing research on a health complications my dad is having at the moment. One thing that still remains from my research is that because the cause is unknown so also is the prevention unknown.

Even though there is active research, there are still no known causes. I have been reading through Ephesians and Colossians. In Ephesians 6 starting at verse 19 through 24.

19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
21Tychicus, the dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know how I am and what I am doing. 22I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage you.
23Peace to the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
Ephesians 6:19-24

Paul is writing to the church in Ephesus. In the last chapter, he talks about obedience then the full armor of God. That is where we start.

Paul says whenever he opens his mouth he wants to boldly make known the mystery of the gospel. In Ephesians 3, Paul expounds upon the mystery in verse 6.

6This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

For this gospel, the gospel that breaks that dividing wall of hostility, the gospel that has a chief cornerstone, the gospel that has Gentiles as heirs together with Israel and the gospel for which Paul is willing to die for not on the testimony of others but himself.

To be known by Christ.

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Because the cause is known, so also is the prevention.
