Can you prove that Jesus made the world?

(John 1:10, Ephesians 3:1-12, Colossians 1:14-19)

Sure, but first let’s go back to get a better understanding of the Word in John 1:1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The Word which is the logos was the thought of God and was God. The Word which is the thought or mind of God was with God and was made flesh.

Therefore Christ is the manifestation or flesh of God. Go to the first verses of John 1:1-14. God, in the form of the manifested Christ, was in the world and the world was made “by” him (John 1:10).

Jesus Christ in his Spiritual form as the Word or Logos made the world and the world knew him not.

Always keep in mind that God’s name, Jesus Christ, is eternal/infinite. God tells us his name in Acts 9:5. The flesh or manifestation of God, is finite and was born in Bethlehem but his name is eternal.

Today some Christians don't believe Jesus Christ was in a Spiritual form as God the Word before his birth. The Logos, made the world and they still don't know him nor believe him, even though they can see it in the scriptures. They have eyes that can’t see and hearts that won’t believe.

In Ephesians 3:1-12. God explains to us that even though, it’s a mystery that Jesus Christ is the Almighty God, he has revealed this mystery to his saints (Revelation 1:8).

God reveals that He created all things by his name - Jesus Christ. In Colossians 1:14-19, God explains that Jesus Christ is his image and that he; through Jesus Christ, in his Spiritual form – with him in mind, created the heavens and the earth and everything in the universe, both visible and invisible (Hebrews 1:3,8).

This is the bottom line. Jesus Christ is the God of all creation and He, as the Word, created the world by His own name (I Corinthians 10:4, Colossians 2:8-12).
