Rejoice because you know Him
Jesus Christ is the word of life. He is the life itself and He is even the eternal life (1John 1:1-2). Jesus was revealed to us by God (1John 1:2) so that He may reveal God himself to us (Mat. 11:27). Eternal life is to know God the Father (John17:3). Everyone will have eternal life when they believe in Jesus (John 6:47). God gives us the joy of forgiven sins right after we acknowledge our conscience sins and confess them to Him (1John 1:9). We will rejoice fully in God, when we will live in the light and will practice the truth, because only then we can have fellowship with the Father and with other believers (1John 1:2,6-7). When we share this to others it will bring joy to them as well (1John 1:4). The apostles saw Jesus with their eyes, heard Jesus with their ears and touched Jesus with their hands (1John 1:1). Those who see, hear and feel God today they have the joy of knowing Him. We need to testify and to proclaim and to write about Jesus to everyone (1John 1:2) exactly as apostles did and brought this joy to us.
