In the context of 1 John, "life" refers to the divine, eternal life that is found in Christ. The revelation of this life is central to the Christian message, as it was made known through the incarnation of Jesus. This aligns with the prologue of the Gospel of John (<a href="/john/1-4.htm">John 1:4</a>), where life is described as being in Christ and as the light of men. The revelation of life through Jesus is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/isaiah/9-2.htm">Isaiah 9:2</a>, which speaks of a great light shining on those living in darkness.<p><b>we have seen it and testified to it,</b><br>The apostle John emphasizes the eyewitness nature of his testimony. This is crucial for establishing the credibility of the message, as John and the other apostles were direct witnesses to Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The use of "we" indicates the collective witness of the apostolic community. This testimony is not based on hearsay but on personal experience, which is a key theme in 1 John (1 <a href="/john/1.htm">John 1:1</a>). The act of testifying is also a fulfillment of Jesus' command to His disciples to be His witnesses (<a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>).<p><b>and we proclaim to you the eternal life</b><br>The proclamation of eternal life is central to the apostolic mission. Eternal life, in this context, is not just a future promise but a present reality for believers, rooted in a relationship with Jesus Christ (<a href="/john/17-3.htm">John 17:3</a>). The apostles' role was to make this life known to others, continuing the mission of Jesus. This proclamation is an invitation to enter into fellowship with God, as seen in the broader context of 1 <a href="/john/1-3.htm">John 1:3</a>.<p><b>that was with the Father</b><br>This phrase highlights the pre-existence of Christ, affirming His divine nature. The eternal life that was with the Father points to the intimate relationship between Jesus and God, as seen in <a href="/john/1.htm">John 1:1-2</a>, where the Word was with God in the beginning. This underscores the Trinitarian understanding of God, where Jesus is distinct yet one with the Father. The pre-existence of Christ is a foundational doctrine that affirms His deity and eternal nature.<p><b>and was revealed to us.</b><br>The revelation to "us" refers to the apostles and, by extension, to all believers who receive the apostolic message. This revelation is not just intellectual but experiential, as the apostles encountered the living Christ. The concept of revelation is central to the Christian faith, as it is through God's self-disclosure that humanity comes to know Him. This revelation is made possible through the incarnation, where the invisible God becomes visible in Jesus (<a href="/colossians/1-15.htm">Colossians 1:15</a>). The purpose of this revelation is to bring people into fellowship with God, as emphasized throughout 1 John.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/john_the_apostle.htm">John the Apostle</a></b><br>The author of 1 John, one of Jesus' closest disciples, who witnessed Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>Referred to as "the life" and "eternal life," whose incarnation and revelation are central to this verse.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_father.htm">The Father</a></b><br>God the Father, with whom Jesus, the eternal life, was from the beginning.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_early_church.htm">The Early Church</a></b><br>The recipients of John's letter, who are being reminded of the foundational truths of the Christian faith.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/r/revelation_of_life.htm">Revelation of Life</a></b><br>The event of Jesus' incarnation, where the divine life was made manifest to humanity.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_revelation_of_life.htm">The Revelation of Life</a></b><br>Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God's life and truth.

The main thought of verses 1 and 3 is, "We declare to you a Being both eternal and yet seen and known by us." That of verse 2 is, "This Being, in his character of the Life, became visible, and in him are centered all the relations between God and man." Quite in St. John's style, verse 2 takes up and develops a portion of verse 1, using its last word as the basis of a new departure (comp. <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>; <span class="greek">&#x1f10;&#x3c6;&#x3b1;&#x3bd;&#x3b5;&#x3c1;&#x1f7d;&#x3b8;&#x3b7;</span> gives the same fact as <span class="greek">&#x3c3;&#x1f71;&#x3c1;&#x3be;&#x20;&#x1f10;&#x3b3;&#x1f73;&#x3bd;&#x3b5;&#x3c4;&#x3bf;</span> from another point of view). <span class="cmt_word">Became flesh</span> is the fact in itself; the incarnation of the <span class="greek">&#x39b;&#x1f79;&#x3b3;&#x3bf;&#x3c2;</span>.
