The Bible identifies Jesus as the 'Word' who was with God and was God, emphasizing His divine nature and role in creation.
In John 1:1-5, we learn that Jesus is referred to as the 'Word' (Logos), indicating His eternal existence and divine essence. The text states, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' This reveals not only His close relationship with the Father but also His identity as God Himself. The passage continues to affirm that everything was created through Him, establishing His sovereignty in both creation and redemption. Jesus' nature as the Word demonstrates that He is the ultimate revelation of God, encapsulating God's truth and life, and is essential for salvation, as life is found in Him.
