Who is Jesus? Your answer to that question determines your salvation and the quality of your fellowship with God. In our latest study of 1 John 1:1-4, we confront the ancient heresies that sought to strip Jesus of His humanity and explore the powerful eyewitness testimony of the Apostles.
The God-Man: Fully Divine, Fully Human
While the Gospel of John begins by emphasizing that “the Word was God,” the First Epistle of John was written to defend a equally vital truth: the Word became flesh. In this lesson, we examine the “Apostolic We”—the firsthand account of those who didn’t just hear about Jesus, but heard His voice, saw Him with their eyes, and touched His resurrected body with their hands. We explore why the physical body of Christ is not just a historical fact, but a theological necessity. Without a physical body, there is no cross, no shedding of blood, and no propitiation for our sins.
What You Will Learn:

- The Basis of Fellowship: Why true koinonia (fellowship) is only possible through the shared truth of the Apostles’ Doctrine.
