Our God invites us into relationship with Him, and healthy relationships don’t need to keep secrets.
The Biblical meaning of the word mysterion is “something formerly unknown that has been revealed." This doesn't mean that we have all the answers. It does mean that God does, and that He delights in revealing Himself to us.
In our fallenness we ping-pong back and forth between idolizing human reason and vilifying it. In the process, we vilify mystery or idolize it. The truth is that we never will have the complete truth, but that that doesn't mean that we don't have any truth at all.
"Things are known because they are created; things are unfathomable because they are created," writes Josef Pieper. How much more then, is God knowable because He is Truth; and God is unfathombable because He is Truth.
