How is a person saved according to Les?
A person is saved by grace through faith, plus nothing. Salvation is not earned by keeping the law, circumcision, or any works; those are insidious additions that cause believers to doubt. Christ finished the work, He accomplished it, and the Word confirms salvation is by grace and faith alone.
Les teaches that salvation is by grace and faith plus nothing. In Galatians, Paul confronts congregations being undermined by Judaizers who insisted you cannot be saved by grace alone but must keep the law and circumcision. Les explains that similar insidious ideas still creep into believers' lives, causing them to doubt and wonder, 'Have I believed enough?' Satan then suggests maybe you must do this or that. The remedy is to stay in the Word, remembering it is true that salvation is by grace and faith plus nothing. Christ did not die in vain; He accomplished the finished work.
