John 1:1-3

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning

with God. 3All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

• What claims are being made about the “WORD” in John 1:1?

A. The “Word” is someone who can be referred to as “HIM”. (vs3)B. He was “with God” (vs1)C. He “was God” (vs1)D. He existed from “the beginning” (vs1&2)E. Everything was “made through Him” (vs3)

Since John 1:1 talks about “in the beginning “We are going to the beginning of the Bible to look for the answers.

Genesis 1:1-26

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

God divided the light from the darkness.

God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.

Then God said, “Let there be a firmament to divide the waters from the waters.”

God called the firmament Heaven.

9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters He called Seas. God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night..

Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”

24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind.

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
