Where do you have to be to know the truth of God for this age of grace?

To know the truth of God for this age of grace, you must be in the writings of Paul. Many theologians, pastors, preachers, and ministers ignore those writings, almost treating them like a plague, yet this is the place believers have to be for the truth of God for the age of grace.

Les teaches that theologians, pastors, preachers, and ministers often totally ignore this man's writings and almost treat them like a plague. Yet he says this is exactly where we have to be if we are going to know the truth of God for this age of grace. The writings in view are Paul's, and the context is his letter to the Galatians. Galatia was the central part of what is today the land of Turkey. Paul had his first bad experiences on his first missionary journey when he visited Antioch, Pisidia, Derbe, and Lystra, and between Derbe and Lystra he had the stoning episode. He wrote to little churches he had planted, who were now being bombarded by Judaizers from Jerusalem—whether Orthodox who still rejected Jesus of Nazareth or Judaizers who had embraced Christ as Messiah. Both were hung up on the fact that you had to keep the Law and practice circumcision, or you could not be saved. They told the Galatians they could not be saved by Paul's message alone.
