How do we know Jesus is the Word of God?

Answered in 4 sources

Jesus is identified as the Word of God in the Bible, particularly in the Gospel of John, affirming His divine nature and central role in creation (John 1:1-14).

The identification of Jesus as the Word of God is a critical component of Christian theology. In John 1:1-14, we read that 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' This passage establishes that Jesus, the Word incarnate, coexists with God the Father and actively participates in creation. In Hebrews 4:12, when the Word of God is described as sharp and discerning, it reflects not only the Scriptures but also the person of Christ Himself. Furthermore, the authority and life-giving aspect of Jesus' words—demonstrated through His ministry—confirm His identity as the Word of God who came to reveal the Father to humanity.
