What did God do to bring about salvation for sinful man?
God pre-planned salvation before creation, set everything in motion, brought about Christ’s earthly ministry, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. He raised Christ from the dead and brought Him back into heaven. The Gospel’s core is that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Les teaches that this was all pre-planned before anything was ever created: God would create man, man would sin and find himself in need of a Savior and Redeemer. So God set everything in motion, brought about Christ in His earthly ministry, brought about His crucifixion, raised Him from the dead, and brought Him back into heaven. Les explains that Paul received this Gospel by revelation, and its very core is that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
