"Now God has made everything PLAIN to us by the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel."
There is so much truth in this one scripture from Timothy. Think about what our lives would be like if God had not made His Gospel and THE PLAIN TRUTH known by the appearing of Jesus Christ. Our Saviour brought us life and immortality and abolished death for those who believe on His name. If Jesus Christ had never appeared the Prophets messages would not have been fulfilled. The Word would not have become flesh and dwelt among us! We would have only mere words and stories to rely on. The plan of the old testament would never have been revealed. The new Covenant would not be possible. By the appearing, birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Saviour, we obtained new life and immortality when He abolished death. That is THE PLAIN TRUTH!
When Jesus appeared and lived among us we benefited by the Gospels of the Disciples. The New Testament became alive. His birth was the edification and explanation of the plan of God from the beginning. It is natural for man to want physical and spiritual proof. We prefer tangible proof in order to believe. When God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ we could see, hear, touch and feel the living God. The miracle of His birth and the miracles that He performed were know to so many because they were there. His entire life was written about and the "Good News" was given to all men throughout the ages. We can rely on THE PLAIN TRUTH even today. Praise God for the Gospel which is good news to all of us!
It was God's purpose and plan to make known to all men and fully disclose His Son Jesus Christ. When Jesus appeared He abolished death and gave to those who believe in Him immortality and eternal life. Death no longer has a sting for us and the grave has no victory over us. The resurrection of Jesus Christ lead the way for all men's souls to live eternally in Heaven with Him. What a wonderful plan God had for us from the beginning. It was cryptic and not easily discerned in the Old Testament, but Jesus Christ is the New Testament and it is in this way that God told us THE PLAIN TRUTH! The truth will set you free if you believe it!
