"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it" (1 John 1:1, 2).
John and the other apostles didn't preach the Word. They preached the Word that became flesh and dwelled among us (John 1:14). If the Word isn't becoming flesh in us, we have no gospel to preach but only a biblical fiction. And those who respond to such a message will know it is a fiction when they come to church but do not hear Him, see Him, look at Him, or touch Him in us.
