John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word. This scripture establishes a point that when the world began, there was the Word and this Word was spoken by God and his Word was with him. In fact, the Word is God himself. This Word, which is God, was made flesh. There is no doubt and that these scriptures let us know that Jesus Christ is the one Almighty God, who was made flesh for the salvation of mankind. The Word is God, and Jesus is the Word. Therefore, Jesus is the one and only Lord God Almighty, the Word, which was made flesh. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Revelation 1:8).
Verification: Isaiah 9:6, Revelation 1:8, 22:13. Think of it this way. Using yourself as an example. When you speak a word, your word is with you because it came out of you. When someone said that you said something, that word, that you spoke is identified as you.
In other words, that word is attributed to you and identifies you as your word. Therefore, your word is with you and becomes you. Through the revelation of the Word of God, this is not confusing. There is only one God and he is his Word and his Word is with him. God through his own Word became flesh. Therefore, Jesus is God, the Word, and he created everything (Colossians 1:14-19).
John 1:3
Jesus created everything and everything came into being through him. This is another, “stand along” scripture that verifies that Jesus is the one and only Lord God who created heaven and earth. The following scriptures verifies John 1:3. (I Corinthians 8:6-7, Hebrew 1:1-8, Colossians 1:14-17). John 1:10 is another strong scripture that tells us that Jesus is God.
John 1:10
This is another strong scripture that tells us that Jesus is the one God who created the world and the world didn’t know him. Guess what? Out of all the information that we have about Jesus, the world still doesn’t really know him as the Father God of the Universe. This scripture also verifies the teaching of Jesus to his apostles when he told them that Moses, the prophets and the psalms spoke of him. Moses said, “ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1, John 5:46-47). Based on these scriptures, we have found out that the name of the God who created the heaven and earth is Jesus Christ. Moses and the prophets talked to Jesus Christ, the Highest Name of God – Jehovah Saviour. (John 5:46-47, Luke24:27, 44, I Peter 1:11). Not only did Jesus create the world as God but he also became a man.
John 1:14
God becomes a Man. Jesus Christ is the Word and the Word was God and the Word became flesh. Therefore Jesus is God, if you believe that there is only one God. You will understand that – that one God’s name is Jesus Christ. Once you understand that Jesus is God, you will be able to understand I Timothy 3:16 which says God was manifested in the flesh. These two scriptures proves that when God says something in one scripture, it can be verified and proven in another scripture.
In addition, to understanding that Jesus Christ is God, you will understand the plan of salvation as taught by Peter, Paul and the apostles who taught the baptism in Jesus name, which is the name of God (Acts 2:38, Acts 19:1-5, Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12).
