2THEOLOGYpassion. Ignatius holds the belief of resurrection. God is the ultimate ray of hope for the survivalof the human beings. In this letter, Ignatius has been thinking about the relationship of the humanbeings with that of the Jesus Christ who is also the son of God. He has also said to the followersto do everything as per the instructions of the Bishop Polybius. He has forced on the importanceof sacrificing his life for the Gospel because he can feel his life is at the end. This letter showsthat the Christians had been very much against the rise of the Judaizers. They wanted to defendthe Gospel from all the angles. The belief that was incurred in the Docetism was the fact thatJesus was just believed to be an illusion.3He had never been a human entity. All the Christians had been presenting Jesus Christ inthe wrong manner. In this letter, Ignatius has provided the magnificent details by which thephysical nature of Jesus Christ could be addressed. Ignatius has summarized the Gospel entirelyto focus on the fact that Jesus Christ had been manifested as a human being in the past.4 Ignatiushas said that there were some people who were the only taught that Jesus was the only entity tosuffer for the mankind. Ignatius had argued on the contrary that it would be a false thing becausehe would be guilty if he did not suffer. His sufferings would go in vain. Many proofs had beenfound that Jesus Christ had been seen as a human being, he was seen by the angels, his spirit wasvindicated and his earthly existence has been known all over the world. 3Ivan, Ruben Ioan.
