Jesus the Divine

After stating that Jesus is God (the Word was God), John states that Jesus was with God in the beginning. The only thing existing before the “beginning” is God. So if Jesus was with God in the beginning, he is God.

John further substantiates Jesus' divine nature when he tells us, “All things were made through him (Jesus), and without him nothing was made that was made."

There are those who would say Jesus was created. But John makes it clear that NOTHING was created that Jesus did not create. The only logical conclusion is that Jesus could not be created but is himself the creator (John 1:1-3).

Remember John’s goal. “These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.”

We only worship God who is manifested in three persons, Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
