Where do Grace Age Gentile believers find the meat of their faith and practice?
Grace Age Gentile believers find the meat of their faith and practice in the Pauline epistles, from Romans through Hebrews. Paul is the Apostle of the Gentiles, and his letters carry priority because the four Gospels record Christ under the Law, while believers are under Grace.
Les teaches that the priority for the Grace Age Gentile believer, and for the Jew who has come into Christianity as a born-again person, is the Pauline epistles, for there we find the very meat of our faith and practice. He emphasizes that this does not cancel the rest of Scripture, but we must set priorities. The four Gospels show Christ under the Law, and we are not under Law but under Grace. Paul writes in Romans 11:13 that he is the Apostle of the Gentiles, and in Ephesians 3:1-2 he is a prisoner of Jesus Christ for the Gentiles, with the dispensation of the grace of God given to him and then to the Gentiles. Les notes Paul was inspired to write the biggest part of the New Testament, and his epistles appear in the same order from Romans through Hebrews.
