How long did Les say he could spend studying Paul's epistles and why?
He said he could very easily spend five years on just Paul's epistles, and it would not be any trouble at all. The reason is there is so much in that little section of the New Testament that is intrinsic to daily needs and salvation.
Les explains he could easily spend five years on just Paul's epistles, and it would be no trouble at all, because so much in that little section of the New Testament is intrinsic to our daily needs and salvation need. He notes that everything is in this little section, yet the average churchgoer never gets the slightest notion of much of what Paul is trying to teach. Paul's core theme is the work of the cross: Christ died for our sin, shed His blood, was buried, and rose from the dead. In Galatians, Paul defends his apostleship as not of men but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, and he writes to believers pressured to return to law and legalism, reminding them they are not under law but under grace.
