What does 2 Timothy 1:10 mean?

Speaking of the gospel, Paul writes that it has been revealed through Jesus Christ. The word "manifested" here is from the Greek phanerōtheisan, which means to "uncover, explain, reveal, or show." In prior generations, God had revealed His message through various prophets. During the time Paul lived, Jesus had appeared and revealed the gospel to all people (Hebrews 1:1–4). Paul wrote in Romans 3:21, "But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it." In 1 Timothy 3:16, Paul also spoke of Jesus, saying, "He was manifested in the flesh."

This verse also contrasts death with life. Jesus ended the scourge of spiritual death, and provided life through the gospel. This message is the "good news" of Christ as the resurrected Messiah. In addition to life, Jesus brought "immortality," or eternal life (John 3:16). The believer in Christ has abundant life now (John 10:10) and eternal life in heaven with the Lord and other believers. This is through the gospel, not works, emphasizing again the gospel of grace (Ephesians 2:8–9).
