What is the Gospel according to Les in 2 Corinthians 12?
The Gospel is that Christ died for us, was not left in the grave, arose from the dead, and is alive evermore. It is the Gospel of the Grace of God, centered in Paul's unique apostleship, and believers are not under Law but under Grace.
Les teaches that the Gospel is the message that Christ died for us, was not left in the grave, arose from the dead, and is alive evermore. He stresses this as the Gospel of the Grace of God, tied to the uniqueness of Paul's apostleship. In 2 Corinthians, Paul defends that apostolic authority and insists believers are not under Law but under Grace. As the teaching moves into chapter 12, those two points remain preeminent: Paul's defended apostleship and the believer's position under Grace.
