Life and immortality


2 Tim. 1:10, “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:”

When I read “life and immortality” I think of a flower or tree. The tree is dying and then receives life energy and is no longer dying. The tree partakes of this life and resurrection power by the glory of the Father and is unable to corrupt or decay. It is immortal.

I believe we partake of this as well in Christ. Paul says the Lord has brought this to light through the Gospel.

Prior to the Fall, the man could not die in his flesh. He possessed life and immortality in the flesh. So, if Christ is the Last Adam then my question is what is the implication for us?
