What did Paul teach that Christ did for us?
Paul taught that Christ gave Himself for our sins and died for us, so that He might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father. Paul also wrote that God commended His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Les explains that Paul's theme is that Christ gave Himself and died for us. In Galatians 1:3-4, Paul writes that Christ gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father. Les also points to Romans, where Paul says God commended His love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Les contrasts this with Peter's sermon, which said, "You killed Him," showing the vast difference between Paul's doctrine and Peter's message. Les notes that God had not yet revealed Paul's message; it was still a secret kept in the mind of God.
Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
