Paul's letters give valuable insight into how he viewed the Gospel, God, and Jesus Christ. He wrote to his followers via the letters, on how to act and live by obeying God's Law. Within his words, he emphasized the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His resurrection, in order to show how the Law of God could overcome the Law of man. Furthermore, he used the cross and the resurrection because that is how he came to know Jesus, not through the history of Jesus mentioned in the Gospel.

Examples of mentioning resurrection and the cross come from Galatians 6:14, NIV: "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world," and Galatians 5:24, NIV. Paul barely mentions Jesus' work and activities before His crucifixion.

He also viewed the Law through the viewpoint of the Cross of Jesus, thus rejecting Pharisaic comprehension of the Law as form of salvation. His understanding of the Law pertains to both affirmation and negation of the Law through the perspective of the Cross of Christ. To begin examining Paul's reflection concerning the Law, he states the Law covers the atonement for sin; salvation comes from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Paul was raised and chose to be a strict Pharisee. That meant through one's own moral efforts, one could prove to be acceptable to God. Through these teachings and the overall political climate he lived in, dealing with Roman domination, and his desire to restore purity of Pharisaical belief and religion, he had to formulate is…
