How does God deal with believers in the book of Romans?
In the book of Romans, God deals with believers, including Gentiles, not under the Mosaic system but under grace. This is a new teaching, previously kept secret, now revealed through Paul's epistles. Believers are no longer under law but under grace.
Les explains that Israel rejected the King and the kingdom, so the Lord returned to heaven. The kingdom is now centered in heaven, and believers are translated into it at salvation, though it will yet come back to the earth where believers will rule and reign with Him. Les teaches that Paul's epistles, including Romans, reveal how God now deals with Gentiles not under the Mosaic system but under grace—new doctrines that were in God's mind from day one but kept secret until revealed. Romans is thrilling because it shows this distinct dealing with believers.
