1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ (1 John 1:1-3).
The Apostle John clearly makes the point that Christ was with the Father from the beginning. So, Christ is God. John also identifies that Christ was present on earth in human form. There were numerous eyewitnesses to Christ. These witnesses testify to Christ’s life, death and resurrection. John also reminds us that our fellowship with Christ is also a fellowship with God the Father. Our connection to God the Father is through Christ.
