What is Paul's concept of salvation for the Gentiles based on?
Paul's concept of salvation for the Gentiles is based on the finished work of the cross: Christ died for our sins, His blood was shed, He was buried, and He rose from the dead for our justification. This truth was not found in Scripture until the revelations given to the Apostle Paul.
Les explains that Paul was raised up to go to the Gentile world with a whole different concept of salvation. That concept is based on the finished work of the cross—how Christ died for our sins, His blood was shed, He was buried, and He rose from the dead for our justification. Les points out that you won't find this in Scripture until you get to the revelations given to the Apostle Paul. This salvation relates to the Body of Christ, called out from among the Gentile world, which will one day be resurrected in total; those alive and remain will be changed.
