“who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:”
2 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV
Paul encouraging Timothy, “He gave us resurrection life and drew us to Himself by His holy calling on our lives. And it wasn’t because of any good we have done, but by His divine pleasure and marvelous grace that confirmed our union with the anointed Jesus, even before time began! This truth is now being unveiled by the revelation of the anointed Jesus, our life-giver, Who has dismantled death, obliterating all its effects on our lives, and has manifested His immortal life in us by the Gospel.” Jesus unveils grace to be the eternal intent of God. Grace celebrates our redeemed innocence and union with God in Christ Jesus. Everything that grace pointed to is now realised in Jesus Christ and brought into clear view through the Gospel - Jesus is what grace reveals. He took death out of the equation and redefines life. Good news indeed, Amen!
