In the Beginning Was the Word - PART 160

This post is a continuation of our discussion on the doctrine of trinitarianism while expanding on John chapter one.

In the beginning was the Word (which the Greeks sometimes understood for wisdom or divine reason ) and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. For by Him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth. He is before all things, and by Him all things consist, upholding all things by the Word of his power.

I am still confirmed in the belief of Christ the Saviour for it is He that made all things, and by whom they exist and are upheld. Indeed, even before all things. He was not made nor upheld by another, and consequently is the same God - the Word that was made flesh - Christ the light, power, and wisdom of God. God had become the Saviour of men even though He had made all things. He was before men. This is most evident from the recited passages of scripture.

Therefore, He was not made, nor is He upheld by any other power other than His own. Consequently, He is truly God. In short, this conclusive argument with scriptures offered for proof of Christ as Saviour being God should certainly persuade all sober minded persons. Indeed, He that is the everlasting wisdom, the divine power, the true light, the only Saviour, the creating Word of all things, (whether visible or invisible) and their upholder by His own power, is without contradiction. God's qualifications and divine properties are, by the concurrent testimonies of scripture, ascribed to the Lord Jesus the Christ.

As the chorus states, in Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. Scriptural references make similar confirmations. And upon this Rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. For as often as you eat this Bread (the Word of God) and drink |His Blood (the redemption story) you do show forth the Lord’s sacrificial death on our behalf. This is at least until the same Jesus returns to earth for His people.

Let him that hath ears to hear, hear. May God bless all who read and digest these scriptural words -- and may the grace of God abide in your heart today and forever. Stand in the offering plate.
