Why does Paul write to believers?
Paul writes to believers to enhance their belief and faith, giving them roots so they are not tossed about by every wind of doctrine. These things are written to those who believe, though they also impact those who do not yet believe.
Les teaches that Paul writes to the believer to enhance our belief and faith, and to give us roots so we will not be tossed about with every wind of doctrine. He connects this to end-times deception, noting that when the disciples asked the Lord Jesus about the signs of His coming, the first thing He said was, “Do not be deceived.” So these things are written to those who believe, but they also impact those who do not yet believe. Les also expresses a growing burden for lost people, realizing that many church people have never had a real salvation experience.
