Before concluding his apology, Justin gives some indication of how he moved from being a Platonist to being a Christian. For him, a significant factor was the faithfulness of Christians when faced with death, which points to them as people committed to the truth.
Justin did not so much reject platonism, as see this philosophy having but part of the "spermatic word" revealed fully in Christ.
More clues regarding Justin's Christology: Christ is worshipped and loved "next to God" and through his sufferings brought healing.
