1 John 1

Thank you, Father, that your Apostle John tells me you are real and true, and that you want fellowship with me; that you want my joy to be full. John tells me that he heard you, and he saw you with his own eyes; that he touched you; he heard your word, and he saw divine life manifested through your word.

He bears witness and declares to me that the eternal life of God, our father, came to us through the person of Jesus, our Lord and Messiah. John saw it, him, and heard it, and declares it to me so that I will have fellowship with you, Heavenly Father, and you, Lord Jesus, and with you, Holy Spirit.

He testifies to the salvation and eternal life, through Jesus, God’s son, so that divine, sovereign joy will fill every part of my being.
