What was Paul's overriding concern throughout his letters?
Paul's overriding concern throughout his letters was lost people. He could never get them off his mind. His focus remained on those for whom Christ had already paid the sin debt, for whom His blood was shed, and whose lives were ready to be ransomed through His resurrection from the dead.
Les explains that as you study Paul's letters, one overriding thought becomes clear: Paul could never get lost people off his mind. That was all Paul could think about—lost people for whom Christ had already paid their sin debt, people for whom the blood of Christ had been shed, and people whose lives were ready to be ransomed by virtue of His resurrection from the dead. Paul's letters also show a progressive revelation, moving from simple beginnings to deep spiritual things, but his concern for the lost remains central.
