What did Paul mean when he said his gospel was not after man? In this verse-by-verse study through Galatians 1, Romans 16, and Ephesians 3, discover how Paul received the gospel by direct revelation from the risen Christ — a mystery kept secret since the world began.
This study begins in 1 Corinthians 15:23, examining the order of the resurrection — Christ the First Fruits, then those who are Christ's at His coming. Les then traces how God raised up Saul of Tarsus and set him apart to take the Gospel of Grace to the Gentiles. In Galatians 1, Paul declares that the gospel he preached was not received from men but by the revelation of Jesus Christ — a crucial distinction most believers miss. Paul emphasizes he did not go to Jerusalem to learn from the other apostles but spent three years in Arabia. In Romans 16:25, Paul reveals this message was a mystery kept secret since the world began. Finally in Ephesians 3, Les shows how the risen Lord Jesus from heaven revealed these truths to Paul — truths not made known to the sons of men in previous ages.
