Where do you have to go to know the truth of God for the age of grace?
To know the truth of God for the age of grace, you must go to the writings of the Apostle Paul. This is where we have to be, even though many theologians, pastors, and ministers ignore his writings and treat them almost like a plague.
Les teaches that to know the truth of God for the age of grace, we must go to the writings of the Apostle Paul. He notes that many theologians, pastors, preachers, and ministers totally ignore this man's writings, treating them almost like a plague, yet this is where we have to be. Les illustrates this by pointing to Paul's letter to the Galatians, written to churches he planted in southern Galatia—cities like Antioch of Pisidia, Derbe, and Lystra—where he experienced severe persecution, including the stoning episode between Derbe and Lystra. The Galatians were being bombarded by Judaizers from Jerusalem, whether Orthodox Jews who rejected Jesus or Judaizers who embraced Him as Messiah, both insisting that Law-keeping and circumcision were necessary for salvation. Paul's message alone was being undermined, but his writings remain the source of truth for this age of grace.
