Where should we go for truth now that Christ's earthly ministry is past?
The letters and writings of this man, the apostle of the Gentiles, are where we must go for truth. His writings present the gospel of grace based on Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, replacing dependence on the past earthly ministry, which has faded like the Old Testament economy.
Les teaches that Christ's earthly ministry is now a part and parcel of the past, just like the Old Testament economy, and that is why there is no power in it now. The church is dying on the vine and moving into apostasy when it stays there. Instead, we must come into the letters and writings of this man, the apostle of the Gentiles. Those writings set forth the gospel of grace based on Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. Galatians 4 says Christ came, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem and buy back those under the law, so that we might receive the positioning as adoption of sons. Romans 3:23 also declares that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
