What was the basis of Paul's message to the Gentiles?
Paul's message to the Gentiles rested on a whole new revelation of new truths, not on Judaism, the Law, or the Old Testament. God in grace saved him and sent him with a new format, and he preached the Gospel of the grace of God, turning the Roman Empire upside down.
Les explains that Paul had hated anything associated with the Christ of Calvary and thought he was destroying Judaism. But God in grace saved him on the road to Damascus and immediately gave instructions that he would go to the Gentiles with a whole new format—not based on Judaism, the Law, or the Old Testament, but on a whole new revelation of new truths that had never been mooted before. Sent among pagan Gentiles, Paul was 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; he preached the Gospel of the grace of God. As an apostle by the will of God, he later wrote to the saints, the believers.
