II Thessalonians 2:14

"Whereunto he called you by our gospel (We covered that rather in-depth in the last half hour. How that Paul over and over refers to this Gospel of Grace as his gospel of salvation, because it was revealed first and foremost to this apostle to take to the Gentile world.) to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Maybe that's a good time to go back. I don't like to run something into the ground. Yet when something is so appropriate, I can't help but use it. So in that regard—that it was Paul's Gospel because of the revelations given to him by the ascended Lord—let's turn to II Peter chapter 3. I've used these verses a lot lately, because I suddenly realized that these verses say so much coming from the pen of the Apostle Peter—who also writes by the inspiration of the same Holy Spirit that Paul does. Yet it is so obvious that this is where so much of Christendom is missing the boat. Much of Christendom today doesn't listen to what Peter says, much less Paul.

II Peter 3:15a

"And account (or understand) that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; (the same salvation that we've been talking about up here in II Thessalonians) even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him..."

What's Peter talking about? Those revelations that were given unto Paul! It was those same revelations that those other apostles never knew anything of. We know that Peter and Paul came to an agreement on that in Galatians 2:7-9 when they shook hands. The agreement was: Paul and Barnabas would continue on with their ministry to the Gentiles with the Gospel of Grace. Which, remember, is believing in your heart for salvation that Jesus died for your sins, was buried, and rose again! Plus NOTHING!
