Under which gospel was Saul of Tarsus saved?
Saul of Tarsus was saved under the Kingdom Gospel, believing who Jesus was: the Son of God, the Messiah of Israel, the Promised One out of the Old Testament, coming to the Jews under the covenant promises. That was all he understood at that time, and it was enough because God had revealed no more then.
Les explains that even Saul of Tarsus was saved under the Kingdom Gospel, believing who Jesus was—the Son of God, the Messiah of Israel, the Promised One out of the Old Testament who came to the Jews under the covenant promises. That was all Saul understood, but it was enough because it was as much as God had revealed at that time. Les notes that Saul would not continue only preaching to Jews in the synagogue; God had a path for him among the Gentiles, so He would get him out of town to enlighten him further. The same confession Peter, Martha, the Ethiopian eunuch, and all the others made—that He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God—was not enough now, so God moved him out.
