1 John 1:1-4 SHOULD be very exciting to every born again believer in Jesus!
1 [WE ARE writing] about the Word of Life [in] Him Who existed from the beginning, Whom we have heard, Whom we have seen with our [own] eyes, Whom we have gazed upon [for ourselves] and have touched with our [own] hands. 2 And the Life [an aspect of His being] was revealed (made manifest, demonstrated), and we saw [as eyewitnesses] and are testifying to and declare to you the Life, the eternal Life [in Him] Who already existed with the Father and Who [actually] was made visible (was revealed) to us [His followers]. 3 What we have seen and [ourselves] heard, we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians] is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ (the Messiah). 4 And we are now writing these things to you so that our joy [in seeing you included] may be full [and your joy may be complete].

This "Life" is the Greek word "zoe" which means the absolute fullness of life that belongs to God! The same Life that makes God to be God also lives IN us! HALLELUJAH!!! Verse 2 speaks of "eternal Life". Eternal is the Greek word "aionios", which means: perpetual; without beginning or end; that which always has been and always will be; never to cease; everlasting. Do you get the picture now of the wonderful treasure that WE have in these earthen vessels (2 Corinthians 4:7)? Now I want you to look at verse 3 and see THIS: And [this] fellowship that we have [which is a distinguishing mark of Christians]. WE are to be standouts in this world! WE have the right and the privilege to have (and enjoy!) intimate fellowship with the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! People SHOULD be able to look at any one of us and say this from Acts 4:13b:
13 ... and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. KJV
Learn to fellowship with Jesus on a consistent and intimate basis so that people will recognize that YOU have been with JESUS! There could be NO greater attribute to have, now, in THIS life! AMEN! Here, to encourage you in this, is Hillsong Young and Free with "Sinking Deep":
Shalom in Him!
