Life in Jesus

1 John 1-5 

“The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard…We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we might know him who is true. And we are in him who is true – even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”

1 John 1:2, 3; 5:20

As one of Jesus’ closest friends on earth, John knew him and spent his whole life speaking about the three years he spent with him. John’s first-hand testimony is focused on the life of Jesus, the truth of Jesus’ teachings, and the invitation we each have received to know Jesus personally in a relationship of love and trust through the Holy Spirit. In a world full of marketing for financial gain and half-truths, John’s testimony is refreshingly simple, personal, and to the point. Eternal life is found in a person - Jesus Christ. We can know him and give our lives to him, so that we daily remain in him. This is truth and we are now accountable for this truth.

“Lord Jesus, you are life and you live in me. Thank you. Fill me with joy and boldness to share you with those I meet today, for your glory.”
