What is the Gospel of God's saving grace that we proclaim?
The Gospel of God's saving grace is that Christ died according to God's predeterminate counsel, fulfilling God's purposes and bringing about the plan of redemption. This redemption is not limited to Israel alone but extends to the entire human race, making Christ the object of faith for the whole world.
Les explains that Israel had been blinded to her intended role as Jehovah's vehicle to reach the Gentiles, and in unbelief they fought the apostle every inch of the way. Yet God's purpose still stood: in Abraham all families of the earth would be blessed. That blessing would come by Israel's Messiah being crucified and becoming the object of faith, not just for Israel but for the whole world. The proclaimed Gospel of God's saving grace declares that Christ died according to the predeterminate counsel of God, fulfilled God's purposes, and brought about redemption for the whole human race. Les also notes that Satan constantly opposes God's program, especially regarding Israel.
