1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
He emphasised that the Word of God is precious and is our only foundation of the truth of God.
The Lord Jesus is precious He is our foundation and rock.
Those who deny Him are not of God and will be denied.
What think ye of Christ?
Satan will always attack the truth eg. in the garden of Eden and during the temptation of Christ in the wilderness.
In the beginning God created.- there are many today who attack creation, the virgin birth, the resurrection etc. these are essential truths to the Christian faith and although these attacks cannot change the truth the can spoil our enjoyment of them.
The "WORD" is Jesus Christ He expresses who God is to us.
Colossians 2vs.9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
He is God He is equal to the Father, He reveals God to us.
John 14:9 he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John 1 vs.14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1 vs.34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
He is not a Man with Godlike features He is fully God and fully man.
He became a man but NEVER ceased to be God.
God cannot die but the man who died was God.
They crucified Him they set Him at naught, they did their worst to Him.
He died at Calvary for you He died in your place He took God's judgement instead of you.
Your sin would take Eternity in Hell to pay for, but He bore the judgement for all sin in 3 hours on the cross!
What or who do you compare yourself to? you can never meet God's standard of Holiness, are you going to Heaven. You need to be saved, forgiven. Acts 2 vs.21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
He is life and light.
John 14 vs.6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
