What was Paul's method and message?

Paul’s method was simply preaching the Gospel of the grace of God, not acting as a crusader, politician, or moralist. His message was a new revelation of new truths for the Gentiles, not based on Judaism, the Law, or the Old Testament. He turned the Roman Empire upside down through that preaching.

Les explains that Paul was saved by God’s grace on the road to Damascus and immediately was told he would go to the Gentiles with a whole new format. That format was not based on Judaism, the Law, or the Old Testament, but on a whole new revelation of new truths never mooted before. Paul was sent among pagan Gentiles and constantly confronted with abject immorality. Yet out of that wickedness, he turned the Roman Empire upside down by simply preaching the Gospel. He was not a crusader, politician, or moralist, but preached the Gospel of the grace of God. Later, in prison because of his apostleship, he wrote letters as an apostle by the will of God to the saints, the believer, the Christian.
