How It All Began

 

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John The same was in the beginning with God. 

        

The forever question that is asked: How do we know there is a God? The answer to that question is found in John 1:4 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was In The Beginning with God.  All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the Light of men.” I know this is well-known information, but I sense the nudging of the Lord that He might remind us regarding our Inheritance.  Last week we looked at our Spiritual Inheritance in Jesus Sacrificial Offering of Himself. Today we see how powerful our Saviour is, that in Him everything that we know about Heaven and Earth is in Him. God is our Power source, the Creator, but all creation was for God’s Beloved Son. Life without Christ is darkness. Christ lights up our life and ‘real’ life – Eternal Life is in Him!  He is the Living Word in us!  Consider what God has done for us.  2 Corinthians 5:21 “For He hath made Jesus to be sin for us, Jesus knew no sin; The Purpose: that we might be made the righteousness of God in Jesus!  Herein is the Powerful Scripture in John 1:14; 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.  Everything about God is “Living!”  He gives us Living Bread, Spirit of the Living God, we are the temple of the Living God, New & Living Way, Lively stones, Living foundations of water ... on and on go the “Living thing” that God has proved for us! Most important the Word of God is Life!  Jesus offered His Flesh, without sin for us, what can we offer of our flesh .. But to ‘Live’ an overcoming life, witnessing of the Goodness of God and the Life we have in Him. The Word is more powerful then a mere word, it is life! It is substance, It is Eternal Life! We have tasted that the Lord is gracious, loving, forgiving, and everything in Heaven and Earth was made for Him!
