The Gospel Brungs Life
2 Timothy 1:10 but [grace] has been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
Death came when sin entered the world. Before Adam and Eve sinned, man was immortal, they were to live forever. But, when they partook of the forbidden fruit, their eyes were open to good and evil and death and destruction became a certainty. There is a saying that goes like this, the only certainty in life is death and taxes (Ben Franklin). And so it is, death is waiting for all those born in the world. All people know this to be true, but many do not know there is a second death, a certainty that can be avoided if we receive the grace provided in Jesus! The gospel of God's grace brings life to all who accept it and live in accordance with it, for their names will be written in the Book of Life.
K and A, I am glad that you accepted this grace, God's undeserved gift of salvation. Your names have been written in the Book of Life and eternal life is yours. The gospel of Jesus is for you and all those that believe in his name. You have eternal life in him! The second death, the lake of fire, is not for you. Thank the Lord, for he is good!
