Who was the Creator according to this teaching?
According to this teaching, the Creator was Christ—the Lord Jesus in His Old Testament personality. He was the Creator God, the Omnipotent, Omniscient, All-Knowing God. Because He was Creator, His death could pay the penalty for every human being, unlike an ordinary person.
Les teaches that the Creator was Christ, the Lord Jesus in His Old Testament personality. He emphasizes that He was the Creator God, the Omnipotent, Omniscient, All-Knowing God. If He had been anything less, His death would have been for nothing, and He would have died just like the thief on either side. But because He was the Creator and the God of glory, He could suffer the punishment and penalty for every human being. Les connects this to believing the gospel: Christ died my death and took my punishment, and when the Spirit opens our heart and we believe, the old sin nature is considered crucified and Christ begins to live in us, which he calls the new nature. He also warns against relying on clichés like 'take Christ as personal Savior' rather than believing the gospel.
