What is God's new program for Jews and Gentiles?
God's new program is the gospel of grace, directed to both Jews and Gentiles. Unlike the kingdom gospel preached to Israel under the law, this grace message centers on Christ's incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection to save lost humanity. It is all grace.
Les teaches that the same God is now dealing not just with Israel under the law and the kingdom economy, but is going to the Gentile world as well as the Jew. This new program is not the gospel of the kingdom but the gospel of the grace of God. That grace is how a holy, righteous God took on human flesh, went to the Roman cross, shed His blood, and was raised from the dead to save lost humanity. Les notes that this grace is something very few people comprehend, and he illustrates how multitudes today go up and down the streets and highways without stopping to think of eternity.
