1 John 1:1-4
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
1 The Word that gives life
was from the beginning,
and this is the one
our message is about.
Our ears have heard,
our own eyes have seen,
and our hands touched
this Word.
2 The one who gives life appeared! We saw it happen, and we are witnesses to what we have seen. Now we are telling you about this eternal life that was with the Father and appeared to us. 3 We are telling you what we have seen and heard, so that you may share in this life with us. And we share in it with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 We are writing to tell you these things, because this makes us[a] truly happy.
these are my thoughts please share yours
1 We should always be open to oppuritunities to share the gospel as well as other scriptures. Belief in the Word gives life. They had first had exprience they shared we are to share our first had expriences of how God helped us and changed our lives.
2 Jesus is Life. There may have been people at this time preaching something else and say they got it from Jesus themselves.Today we do not see Jesus like they did then but if we look we can see how He works.
3-4 to share our personal testiomony and to share the gospel should bring us joy as believers in Christ. We should do our best to win people to the Lord.
