How does the Bible reveal truth progressively from Genesis onward?
Scripture unfolds truth progressively: from Genesis through the whole Bible, God reveals matters that were not disclosed earlier, bringing them to light later. This pattern moves from a simple beginning toward deeper spiritual truths. Paul’s letters follow the same progressive structure, advancing from basic teaching to deep things carnal believers cannot comprehend.
Les teaches that the Bible as a whole is a constant progressive revelation from Genesis all the way up through Scripture. Things that were not revealed back in earlier times are revealed later. He explains that Paul’s writings work the same way as a progressive revelation in themselves. Paul begins with simple truth and moves upward until he finally ends with deep spiritual things that the carnal believer cannot comprehend. This pattern shows that revelation is not all given at once but unfolds step by step from Genesis onward, and Paul’s letters mirror that same movement from basic beginnings to deeper spiritual understanding.
