2 TIMOTHY 1:10
"Now God has made everything plain to us by the appearing of Jesus Christ our Savior , who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel."
There is so much truth in this short scripture. What would our world be like if God had not made the "Good News" plain by the appearing, death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ?No answer to the messages of the prophets that foretold God's plan to bring the Lord in the flesh. It is not mere words that they uttered but the truth revealed plainly. The plan concealed in the old testament would never have been revealed and verified by the birth of our Lord Jesus. There would be no new testament, no Savior, no life and immortality.
When Jesus appeared and lived among us we benefited with the Gospels of His disciples. What if we had no new testament to edify and explain God's plan for our lives and eternal souls? It is natural for men to want physical proof to believe in something. When the Word became flesh and dwelt among us so that we could see, touch and hear Him, that was the Living Proof. Jesus many miracles were observed and written about and the "Good News" was shared with the world. We rely on this truth even today, and this is why the Gospel is plain to believers now!
It was God's purpose and grace that was made known and fully disclosed to us by the appearing of Jesus Christ. He annulled death and made it of no effect to us by His Resurrection. Jesus brought new life, immortality and immunity from death through His life and His Gospel. What a wonderful plan to let us know and understand and believe- THE PLAIN TRUTH-GOOD NEWS!
