What would happen if Christians spent most of their time in Paul's epistles instead of the rest of the Bible?
Spending 90% of time in Paul's epistles and 10% in the rest of the Bible would cause things to begin to happen. Paul's writings contain the whole package of revealed truth, all the truth the Church needs today, so believers need not go elsewhere, though the rest of Scripture still works toward its common end.
Les explains that the revelation of the mystery was kept secret since before anything was created, so Jesus and Peter could not preach it. Because redemption was accomplished and the work of the cross is done, and because of the power of His resurrection, God can now pour out the whole package of revealed truth from the pen of the Apostle Paul. In it is all the truth the Church needs today, and believers do not have to go anywhere else to get it. Les cautions that this does not mean throwing away the rest of the Bible, because all the Bible works toward its common end. If Christendom spent 90% of its time in Paul's epistles and 10% in the rest of the Bible, things would begin to happen, but Les observes it is the other way around.
