To whom does Paul address his New Testament letters?
Paul addresses his New Testament letters to the believer. He always writes to the believer and never to the unsaved world. In Colossians 2:13, he writes to believers, saying they were dead in sins and uncircumcision of the flesh but were quickened and forgiven all trespasses.
Les explains that Paul always writes to the believer, never to the unsaved world. He points to Colossians 2:13 as an example, where Paul addresses believers who were dead in their sins and the uncircumcision of their flesh, yet God quickened them together with Christ and forgave all their trespasses. Les connects this to the believer's position under Grace rather than Law, and applies it by saying that because Christ forgave us who were unworthy, we can forgive others.
