1 John 1:2

  • This is the life: Throughout the New Testament, the Greek word zōē (which means "life") is used to describe God’s own eternal life (for example, Ephesians 4:18). This life is found in Christ, and he gives it to all who believe in him.

  • this is the life that was revealed to us: Jesus, the Christ, was known to his apostles as a human being during his earthly ministry.
