How do we understand God's eternal purpose in the crucifixion?

God's eternal purpose in the crucifixion is understood only through the revelations given to the apostle. Those revelations show that the crucifixion is connected with calling out the body of Gentiles called the church, which is not under law but under grace. This purpose is therefore known by revelation, not by law.

Les explains that by the hundreds, people were finally understanding that it is only through the revelations given to this apostle that we now understand God's eternal purpose in the crucifixion. That eternal purpose also includes calling out the body of Gentiles, which is called the church, not under the law but under grace. In this way, the crucifixion and the calling out of the church are understood through revelation rather than through law.
