Purpose

"For if the gospel we preach is hidden, It is hidden only from those who are being lost.

THEY DO NOT BELIEVE BECAUSE THEIR MINDS HAVE BEEN KEPT IN THE DARK BY THE EVIL GOD OF THIS WORLD.

He keeps them from seeing the light that comes from the Good News about the Glory of Christ WHO IS THE EXACT LIKENESS OF GOD 2Cor. 4:3-4
