1. The twofold assertion (or the two assertions) constitutive of Christian witness explicitly as such is (or are):
Jesus is (formally) the decisive re-presentation of the meaning of ultimate reality for us ; and
God is (formally) strictly ultimate reality in its meaning for us.

2. In the case of both parts of this constitutive assertion (or both of these constitutive assertions), their existential significance comes out only when they are converted, so as to read respectively:

Jesus is a fully real human being ; and
