"And now God has made everything PLAIN to us by the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel!"
Those who only had the old testament and lived before Jesus Christ had a distinct disadvantage. Solomon, the wisest man ever for his age, thought everything was vanity. Solomon never knew about the "Good News" of Jesus Christ. Job knew that he would see his "Redeemer", but he was unclear about who that was because Jesus Christ had not appeared. What would your world be like if God had not given us THE PLAIN TRUTH by the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour? What if there had never been the birth, death and resurrection of our Lord? The prophets messages would never have come true. God appearing in the flesh would be just mere words. The concealed plan of the old testament would never have been revealed and made PLAIN to us. What if there was no new testament, no Jesus Christ?
When Jesus Christ appeared and lived among us we had tangible proof of God's New Testament! By His birth, death and resurrection He abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. The old testament was replaced by the plain truth of the appearing of Jesus Christ and His Good News. It is natural for men to want physical proof in order to believe something. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. That is physical proof of the plan of salvation of the Lord. We could see Him, hear Him and touch Him. His disciples then spread the Good News to the world and even to us today. They tell of the miracles and bring us the PLAIN truth of our Lord!
It was the plan of God from the beginning of time and it was His purpose and grace that this be revealed to us by the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour! Now we have full disclosure of the plan of God. Jesus Christ annulled death and has made it of no effect to those whom He has Saved. Jesus Christ brought us life, immortality and immunity from death. His Gospel and the wonderful plan of God is now available to all who believe in Him. Now we can know and understand THE PLAIN TRUTH! Now we can share the GOOD NEWS. Now we can have LIFE
instead of death. Old testament believer's have the benefit of the truth of the new testament!
