“Our Savior Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings” (2 Timothy 1:10 JND).
God is presenting Himself to this world today as a Savior-God, through His Son Jesus Christ. As a Savior-God, He has done much more for us than simply saving us from hell for all eternity. He has annulled death, which simply means that as Christians, we no longer need to fear death, for it only brings us to Christ, “which is far better.”
Also, life and incorruptibility have been brought to light through the gospel. In the Old Testament, even the most godly individuals did not know what would happen when they died, nor did they know their eternal destiny. They definitely had a new life, but they did not know anything about eternal life, that fits us for God’s presence. Also, they knew nothing of the Lord’s coming for His saints, when they will receive glorified bodies, suited to heaven. All this has been brought to light through the gospel. What a wonderful Savior we have!
