GOD’S GLORY

GOD’S GLORY

From the very beginning, Satan wanted you to believe there could be more than One God. Satan, being a deceiver, wanted to be like God, and produce sons of his very own. He was never interested in the begotten sons who are actually procreated by God Almighty Himself (Isaiah 14:12-14). Satan wants you to believe that God doesn’t want you to eat of The Tree of Knowledge, because then you will be wise. When you do eat, he says that you will be as a god knowing Good from Evil (Genesis 3:5). Satan told Eve that she should have the option to decide for herself. Then she would be a god.

Why was Satan so intent for you to believe in more than one God? Satan, himself, wasn’t satisfied to be just an angel, or even a very high-ranking angel. He is the one who wanted to be “the begotten Son of God” – instead of Jesus. As a consequence, Satan was opposed to God’s Plan of Salvation for all mankind. He was jealous.

From that time to the present, Satan has been busy deceiving humanity

into making many gods. He instituted the worship of the Creation itself, such as the sun, moon, trees, oceans, and rivers – so that everyone would believe in more than one God. So, as time passed, people would believe in many, many gods by bowing down to animals or nature itself or to statues and idols.

God countered all this with basic instructions. God gave The Second Commandment, which told Israel not to make any likeness of their God. This is because humanity would then begin to worship that image as if it represented God. It is a major transgression to worship an image. This is idolatry. When anyone says that the graven image only makes a person think of God, it really doesn’t, because that image is not God.

Satan, who is the greatest liar of all, has successfully duped the world into believing in many gods. Satan has even convinced the world that The Son of God, Jesus, was God before his human birth. Satan has many believing that The Holy Spirit is also another God – rather than God’s Power, which leads you into The Truth. Satan’s purpose is to keep anyone from becoming the very begotten Sons of God. Satan wants as many people as possible to become his own sons, not God’s Sons who will be “…all in all” (I Corinthians 15:28).

The questions which should be asked: “Who was Christ before His human birth?” “What is God’s Holy Spirit?” And then finally, “Is there more than one God?”

If Christ were God before His human birth, then Jesus would be His own

Son. If The Holy Spirit were another God, then Christ would be The Son of The Holy Spirit. Therefore, logically, humans would either be The Sons of Jesus (since He was presumed to be God), or else The Sons of The Holy Spirit (if, indeed, The Holy Spirit is God). That is the type of confusion Satan would want you to believe!

The Apostle Paul said that God is not the author of confusion. The word “confusion” in the Greek language means “tumult” (I Corinthians 14:33). If there were more than one God, then that notion would surely produce “confusion,” just as it has already confused individuals throughout the ages in the realm of religion.

On the other hand, God is extremely logical. In fact, the word “logos” comes from the Greek “to be logical.” The Scriptures alone will tell you who Christ was before He became a human being, called “The Son of Man,” through Old Testament prophecies.

Many claim that Jesus was The Logos God or The Word of God before He was human. They quote John 1:1 as their proof. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But nothing proves that Christ was that Word, as indeed, being another God before He was human. That text declares that whatever The Word was – it is God and is with God. It plainly and clearly declares that The Word was God Himself, and nothing else.

You only need to know the Greek meaning for the word, “logos” to be certain of this point. In Strong’s Concordance #3056, the Greek tells you that “The Word” or “logos” is nothing more than “The Thoughts,” “the mental faculty” or “The Divine Expression of God.” So The Word is nothing more than God’s Divine Thoughts. It is not a separate deity or being. The Word is only God’s Thoughts, and no more than that.

Then, in John 1:14, you are told that The Word which is God’s Divine Thoughts, eventually became flesh, or Jesus Christ. So Jesus became The Son of God when He became flesh, and received God’s Word in Him. How did this happen? “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him” (John 3:34). THAT IS YOUR ANSWER.

Christ became The Word by God’s Holy Spirit. This was when He was born as a human. God’s Word (Logos), God’s Divine Thoughts or Word, was put into Christ by The Holy Spirit. Therefore, The Holy Spirit can’t be a separate god in Christ. The Holy Spirit put all of God’s Divine Thoughts into Christ, at birth. The Holy Spirit then, can only be a Power from God (not a separate god) that put God’s Truth or Word into Christ. The Holy Spirit, therefore, is merely God’s Power, and The Word is only God’s Divine Thoughts – nothing more. The same process occurs in Christians. When Christians receive God’s Holy Spirit (although not the double portion that Christ received), then this Spirit leads you to understand God’s Words (the Logos).

The important question is this: “Who was Jesus before He became human?” Jesus, Himself, tells you the answer in His last prayer to God before He was arrested. “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was” (John 17:5).

Notice, Jesus did not ask God to give Him “The Glory” that God gave to Him before the world was. Christ then would have been a separate deity or a second God with The Father. Christ plainly states that He, before the world was, was not another God, but that He was in The Father as “The Glory of God.” Ponder that carefully.

It is usually the simple, understandable Scriptures that people often do not generally read thoroughly, but which tell you The Truth. Your Savior tells you that He was not God before He was human. Before the universe was created, Jesus was still in The Father as God’s Glory. Now, the question is posed: “What is God’s Glory?” When you know God’s Glory, then you will, also, know who Christ was before He became human.

The Greek for “glory” is “doxa” (Strong’s #1391). The definition comes from #1330, “dokeo,” which means “to think,” “good reputation,” and then #1391 “doxa,” is defined as “dignity,” “honor” or “goodness.” God’s Glory in the Greek means “God’s Thinking” or “God’s Thoughts” with all of its goodness and morals.

Notice what Paul said: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory [doxa] of God” (Romans 3:23). God’s Glory is all The Goodness of God. It is the sum total of All that God is. Humans, who are sinners, fall short of that Goodness. God’s Glory is everything that God is – and does. This includes, God’s Logos, and Power of His Holy Spirit, which is all of

God’s procreative and creative Power.

In The Epistle of I Peter 5:4, The Apostle Peter said all will receive a “Crown of Glory” (doxa) when you become Spirit. Just as Christ, you will, also, become all of God’s goodness or virtue.

The Apostle Paul said that The Israelites who went through The Red Sea were baptized unto Moses. Moses was The Prophet for The Israelites to find God. Paul, also, said this baptism unto Moses was in “the cloud” and in “the sea.” What was this cloud? Israel drank the same Spiritual Drink and ate the same Spiritual Meat, which was that Spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ (I Corinthians 10:1-4). This is another clear Scripture which tells you what Christ was before He was born.

Notice how this Rock, Christ, didn’t lead Israel, but only followed them. Was The Rock who followed them Christ? That answer is given shortly.

HISTORY OF ISRAEL

One of the most important Spiritual Lessons about God concerns the historical events that occurred between God (YHVH) and Israel when they came out of Egypt. Many who study The Scriptures have completely missed the real significance of why Israel was selected to become God’s “chosen people.”

When God made The Covenant with Abraham to bless him and his children with The Promised Seed (Christ), the result was that Israel totally misunderstood God’s Promise to Abraham. This calling was so The Nation of Israel could enter into God’s Rest (Paradise).

This Promise continued from the time of Abraham, down to Isaac and then to Jacob. Jacob’s name was changed to Israel, and with his twelve sons comprised the structural basis for the new nation of Israel.

When Israel migrated to Egypt, they eventually became slaves in that land. This occurred because after Joseph died, the new pharaoh didn’t know what Joseph had done to Save all of Egypt from starvation. In slavery, the Israelites pleaded for mercy, and prayed to God for deliverance. Since Israel turned to God in this manner, God chose Moses as His Prophet to lead them to The Promised Land so they could enter God’s Rest. Since the time of Adam and Eve, God was always ready to dwell with His people. In this case, Israel declared that they wanted Him. But they would have to prove this by obeying Him.

This Covenant or Agreement, which was made with Israel, was totally different from what God had made with anyone else. To no other nation in the world had God made such a personal Covenant. Since the time of Adam and Eve, God had not been any other nation’s God. This was only the second time in history that a people could have had God, as their own personal God, with His Presence dwelling with them. Notice, in cementing His Covenant, God gave, not just one of His titles, but His very personal name YHVH, otherwise known as the “I am” or “The Existing One.”

God, Himself, was going to dwell with them, not in a tabernacle or temple, but with them personally. After Israel failed, by sinning, they had to wait for their Rest much later in The New Heaven and New Earth. There will be no temple in The New Heaven and New Earth because God Himself will be The Temple, along with Jesus Christ (Deuteronomy 5:2-7).

THE EXODUS

When God called Moses from out of the burning bush, Moses was actually talking to “an angel” (Acts 7:30). Angels are “elohim” just as God is Elohim (Psalms 8:5). The word “angels” in this Psalm is “elohim” in the Hebrew language. Elohim is God’s title of universality, or plurality, that God is “…all” and will be “…in all” (I Corinthians 15:28). That is why God said in Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in our image....”

As God’s messengers, Angels (Elohim) have the job to carry out The Plan of God (Elohim) to make man become like God (Hebrews 1:14). The angel in the burning bush was God’s deputy who was talking in the first person in order to bring God’s people, Israel, out of bondage. Notice who brought Israel out of Egypt. Exodus 12:51 states that The Lord God brought Israel out of Egypt. How was this done?

When God used Moses to lead the children of Israel across The Red Sea, Pharaoh pursued them. The angel of The Lord (God’s angels) went before Israel. The Cloud followed Israel. Then, this Cloud stood between the pursuing Egyptians and Israel, so The Egyptians could not harm The Israelites. Who was in this Cloud? It wasn’t the angel of The Lord because the angel was the first to come between them. (God’s Glory in the Cloud still led Israel. The angel did not begin to lead Israel until Israel sinned at Mt. Horeb.) From then on, the Cloud followed the Israelites and the angel.

Besides the fact of Israel going through The Red Sea, Paul said that The Cloud was also a baptism. This Cloud led Israel to Mt. Sinai. What or who was this Cloud?

THE CLOUD

In Exodus 23:20, after Israel sinned at the mount, by breaking God’s Commandments, God said to Moses, “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared” (verse 21). God instructed the nation to obey this angel’s voice because He will not pardon you. God explained that this angel spoke in God’s voice because My Name is in him. This was brought about by the strict adherence to The Law of Moses in The Letter, which caused their death. There was no forgiveness. From this point on, God was not with them, to lead them. Instead the angel was designated to lead Israel.

After God gave Moses The Law (Exodus 33), The Israelites built a Tabernacle, and God restated that the angel would lead Israel to their Rest in The Promised Land (Exodus 23:1-7). This Tabernacle was not in the camp of Israel, but outside. Why was this? The Cloud, that led Israel out of Egypt, was by The Tabernacle, and there The Lord spoke to Moses (Exodus 33:7-9). Then in verse 11, it states that God spoke to Moses as a friend, “face to face.” Who was in The Cloud? God was in The Cloud and spoke to Moses at The Tabernacle. God no longer would speak to, or be with, Israel. The voice was the angel speaking in the first person.

At this point, God had threatened to destroy Israel, and only permit the tribe of Moses, The Levites, to live. God would no longer lead Israel, as His people. The Tabernacle was built outside the camp of Israel since God would no longer be in their midst. If Israel had not sinned, proving they were stiff-necked and unrepentant, there would have been no need for a Tabernacle or Temple. In Deuteronomy 5:29, God said, “O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!”

From here on, God would only allow The Levites to serve Him. Israel could only go into The Court of Israel, but not “the inner courts” of The Temple where God was present in The Holy of Holies. The veil separated God from rebellious, unconverted Israelites – and the rest of the world – until Christ died, and the veil was “rent in two.” By this means, their access to God was Restored.

This frightened Moses. God was going to kill the entire nation and only allow The Levitical Tribe to live (Exodus 33:12-13). So Moses asked God if He would be gracious and reconsider Israel to be His nation. At this point, Moses was Israel’s mediator to God. Moses wanted to know that God was going to be with him, as well as have Israel be His nation.

Moses feared that God would not be with Israel. God was adamant. God would no longer allow Israel to deal with Him “Personally.” God said to Moses that from now on My angel will lead Israel to God’s Rest in The Promised Land. God would no longer lead them in The Cloud (Exodus 33:1-3).

God said that because Israel was unrepentant and stiff-necked, He wanted to burn them up (verse 5). God instructed Moses to pitch The Tabernacle outside of the camp. God did not intend to be with Israel (verse 7).

When Moses entered The Tabernacle, The Cloud stood at the door of The Tabernacle. God spoke (through an Angel) with Moses from The Cloud. Speaking to Moses, face-to-face, as a friend (verse 11). Then Moses besought God to give him grace or forgiveness, which was a promise that God should keep Israel as His nation. This was an extremely serious stand that God took concerning Israel.

Then, God told Moses, that because of Moses’ kind act of interceding on Israel’s behalf, God declared that His Presence would go with them (Exodus 33:14). In the Hebrew language, “God’s presence” was not “God, The Deity, being with them,” but only “God’s Presence would be with them.” In Strong’s, #6440, “paneh,” means “face” or “countenance.” Later you will know what God was really saying to them.

In Exodus 33:17-18, God said that He would let His Presence go with Israel because Moses found grace in His sight. Then Moses said, “I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.” Moses did not want to see God, but only His Glory (God’s Glory). Remember that Christ said, “…glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was” (John 17:5). This is the same Glory that Moses wanted to see. God’s Glory was not Christ as a separate deity, but a part of the very Glory of God, The Father, Himself. This was God Almighty, the YHVH. This was The One God and The Only God. Christ was a vital part of that Glory.

In Exodus 33:19, God said, “I will make all my goodness pass before thee....” This is right out of The Bible. God Himself states that God’s Glory is all of God’s Goodness! It is not Christ as a separate deity. In fact, God said that His Glory is not God, the Being, but rather God’s Glory in His Total Goodness!

Strong’s, #3519 (kabow’d), #3519 and #3513 for “glory” is defined as “weight,” “copiousness,” “magnificence,” “wealth” or “all that God is.” God’s Glory is truly all of God’s Goodness. All of God’s procreative and creative power as God, The Logos or God’s Thoughts – is God’s Glory (I Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:19-20). This is by The Power of God’s Holy Spirit.

In God’s Glory, the first prominent aspect is The Spirit of Christ. Through that Spirit, all of God’s creation, along with God’s whole Purpose and Plan, is prepared for God’s future Sons and Daughters. All of God’s complete goodness and love for everything is being worked out in God’s Plan – and it is “God’s Glory.” All that “is” comes from God. God is to be “All and in All.” The “doxa,” Greek for “God’s Glory,” in The New Testament and “kabow’d” in The Old Testament carries the same meaning.

Read Exodus 33:20-23, and you should see clearly that no one has seen God because they would not have lived. They would have been burned up. Hebrews 12:29 states that God is a “Consuming Fire.” Moses, when hiding in the cleft of the rock, and looking at God’s hind parts – really only saw God’s Glory – or the radiance from God’s Being which contains all of God’s Goodness.

Moses’ face would shine brightly after he talked to God. To look at God’s Glory gives one a sunburn. Moses, however, never saw God Himself, but only His Glory. Christ was in that “Glory,” the same “Glory” Jesus had before the world was. Christ, The Firstborn, before the world existed, was with The Father, but only in God’s Glory.

God’s face shines as the sun. When one looks at the sun in its strength, you never see the sun directly. You only see the sun’s radiance or light, but not the very surface of the sun itself. So it is with God. Moses spoke face-to-face with God, but he only saw God’s Glory or radiance, which possesses all of God’s Goodness.

Christ was in God’s Glory. That is what Jesus said in John 17:5. Before Christ was human and became The Word (Logos) by God’s Holy Spirit, He was part of God’s Glory.

In Exodus 34:5, you read that The Lord descended in The Cloud, and stood with Moses, and he proclaimed The Name of The Lord. All that Moses saw through The Cloud was God’s Glory, or radiance, which was all of God’s goodness. Moses never saw God directly.

This Glory of God would follow Israel as the angel of The Lord, which led them through the wilderness (as God had promised Moses). When the angel stopped and Israel made camp, The Tabernacle was set up and The Cloud with God’s Glory would reside in The Tabernacle. Only The Levites could go in and serve. Israel could only be in the court of Israel, but never in The Tabernacle. Only The High Priest could go into The Holy of Holies on The Day of Atonement. God would not deal with Israel directly because they had been unrepentant and rebellious.

Christ was The Rock who followed Israel in God’s Glory, as the angel led them to The Promised Land. The Jews called God’s Glory, “The Shekinah,” from the Hebrew “Chakanh,” where “God dwells with them.”

Jesus was never a separate deity or God. There is only One God, and that is why The Commandment states, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3).

When you let The Scriptures plainly state who Christ was before He was human, the answer is so simple. The simplicity in Christ is exactly as The Bible states. You are told to watch, lest: “…your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (II Corinthians 11:3).

Jesus Christ, before He was born as a human, was God’s Glory. God’s Glory is defined as all of God’s Goodness! You have seen that God’s Goodness is the totality of what God is. His Logos or God’s Divine Thoughts are empowered by God’s own Holy Spirit. This Glory is the totality of God’s riches of procreation and creative powers. This Glory is the act of creating Sons of God who will be formed in the likeness and character of God.

The Apostle Paul clearly stated that, God, in these last days, speaks to you by His Son (Hebrews 1:2). Then in verse 3, the text states that Jesus is the brightness of His Glory. Realize that “brightness” in the Greek language means “radiance” or “light.” Remember also, that God is Light (I John 1:5).

Therefore, Christ, before He was human, was within the radiance – or complete Goodness of God. That Glory which pre-existed in God, became flesh or Christ. Then, Jesus became The Living Word of God by The Power of God’s Spirit (John 3:34).

John said that Jesus became The Logos or Word when The Glory of God begot Christ as The Only Begotten of The Father (John 1:14). The Greek for “only begotten” is “monogenes.” Monogenes translates into the “beginning one.”

When you say that you have your father’s genes, it means you began from your father just as Christ did. God’s genes are God’s Glory by The Power of God’s Holy Spirit. This Glory had The Very Spirit of Christ within it. It was by God’s Glory through Christ that God created all things by His Son.

There is only One God and Father of all, and One Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 8:6). There has never been two gods or three gods, or more. There is only One God, who is The Father with Jesus Christ, His Son. Be sure you believe The Commandments, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3).

You must remember The Purpose God required Israel to build a Tabernacle and ultimately The Temple.

The Tabernacle and The Temple are required, as is the true temple in heaven, because God will not dwell with carnal or unconverted beings. Only a High Priest can directly come in God’s Presence whether of Levi or Melchisedec. God does not hear sinners (Isaiah 59:1-2). A mediator is always necessary.

WORD OF GOD

WORD OF GOD

The primary responsibility of ministers is to preach The Gospel about The Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14), as Christ did. But, is the preaching about God’s Kingdom the same as God’s Work? Or, is The Kingdom message, The Good News, about the goal of God’s Work? Could it be that the achievement of God’s Kingdom is really the effort of God completing His Work? Does The Bible tell you what The Work of God is? What kind of Work is God busy doing, now, in this human age?

JESUS GIVES YOU THE ANSWER!

After Christ fed the five thousand people with five barley loaves and two fishes, there were twelve baskets of bread left over. Everyone had more than enough. Later that evening, Jesus departed on a boat with His disciples. When Christ returned to The City of Capernaum, the people who had been fed, rushed up to Him.

John 6:27-28 ²⁷Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. ²⁸Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

Christ had just said to them: “²⁷Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life” (John 6:27). Then the people asked Jesus what must be done to do The Work of God (John 6:27-28). This was a very simple, clear question they asked of Christ. Jesus, from His own lips, gives you The Biblical answer defining The Work of God. Biblically, no other answer is True, except what The Son of God tells you. Nothing else is The Work of God.

John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Jesus answered them with these words: “²⁹…the work of God, [is] that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.”

Christ said that The Work of God is To Believe on Him (Christ). Only through Jesus can you receive everlasting Life. Only Christ tells you the exact Path you must follow – which is The Work of God. The entire reason He fed the five thousand with twelve loaves and two fishes, was to show you that Christ is “that bread.” Christ performed this miracle to reveal God’s Work to you.

I Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and

to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

I Timothy 2:4 states that it is God’s Will that every human being would be Saved, and that His Will was first performed, by His Son, Jesus (John 5:30-36). How does God, through His Son, Save everyone? You can be Saved by believing on His Son, Jesus Christ. How can this be God’s Work if Christ is The One doing The Work? That is the critical question.

WORD OF GOD

Deuteronomy 21:17 concerns The Law that God gave to explain The Purpose of The Firstborn. In Romans 8:29, Paul said that Christ is The Firstborn Son of God, and that all the rest of mankind are destined to become Sons of God.

Deuteronomy 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [wife] for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

By God’s Law of The Firstborn, Christ received a double portion from His Father (which was The Father’s strength) to do God’s Work (John 5:17, John 3:34). Jesus was the only One who spoke The Words of God by The Power of The Holy Spirit from God, which was given to Him without measure (actually a double portion).

Jesus said that The Work of God is to believe on Him whom God hath

sent. So, Jesus speaks only The Words of God, which will give you Eternal Life. This simply means that you must believe in Christ because He speaks God’s Word. God’s Word gives Everlasting Life, which is The Work that Christ does. Then, what is The Word of God?

RELIGION AND THE WORD OF GOD

Many Christian religions believe The Word of God is another “being” besides God. In fact, some religions believe God’s Holy Spirit is also another “being.” Therefore, they present The Word of God as a being, and The Holy Spirit as a being. They have three Gods. Is this Biblical?

Others believe that The Holy Spirit is not another God, but The Power of God. They think, in the beginning, only Christ was another being with God. Now you have two Gods, which are God, The Father, and The Word of God. Just how many Gods are there? Let The Bible tell you.

I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

I Timothy 2:5 plainly states that there is only one God. Christ, as The Word of God, is just a Mediator between God and humanity. That is what The Bible presents to you.

Since Christ was given The Holy Spirit at birth (the same Holy Spirit made Mary pregnant), The Holy Spirit couldn’t be another “being” because Jesus would then be The Son of The Holy Spirit and not The Son of God, The Father. In Luke 1:35, The Angel answered Mary, and presented The Holy Spirit as being a Power, and not a separate individual being who came from God, The Father.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The Bible states that Jesus is The Son of God; therefore, The Holy Spirit couldn’t have been another “being.” The Holy Spirit is “A Power” – “A Holy Power” – which comes from God. It leads everyone to The Truth. John 14:17 states that God’s Spirit dwells in you and reveals God’s Truth. Therefore, God’s Holy Spirit is “A Power” from God, which reveals God’s Truth to you (John 17:17). The Holy Spirit cannot be another “being,” but is the very Power from God Himself.

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

What was The Word of God before Christ became The Word of God? Was Christ another “being” just like God? Only The Scriptures can reveal this Truth to you.

Before you study one of the critical Scriptures, which describes The Word of God, it is pertinent that you approach these verses as a little child. Remember, Christ said that you will not enter into God’s Kingdom unless you become as a little child. You cannot have pre-set ideas, opinions or assumptions. No human interpretations are allowed – Only Biblical facts and proof.

John 1:1-15 ¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²The same was in the beginning with God. ³All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ⁶There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. ⁷The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. ⁸He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. ⁹That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹He came unto his own, and his own received him not. ¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ¹³Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ¹⁴And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ¹⁵John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

The Apostle John states, “¹In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” What do you know about The Word at this point? This verse reveals The Word was from the beginning; and this Word was also with God, but this Word was also, God. It does not say this Word was another “being.” Since God is One (I Timothy 2:5), the best notion that anyone can state about this Word, is that it is an Element of God Himself. This is what The Bible tells you.

“³All things were made by him;...” All things were created by God, for that is what The Word has performed. This Element of God, The Word, has The Power to create. This Word has within it The Power to produce Life. Consequently, The Word of God can be defined as the very Words from God, The Father. This Word was put into Christ at His Birth (Deuteronomy 18:18).

John, The Baptist, states that he “⁸…was sent to bear witness of that Light.” John goes on and tells you that he, himself, is not that “light,” but rather, that “Light” was sent from God (The Word), which was the “Light.”

So, The Word of God was in the beginning. The Word also created everything, had The Power to give Life, and was The Light (Truth) of The World. Above all, The Word was God – not another being. Up to this point, this is all that anyone knows about The Word. No two beings – just One God. In summary, The Word of God:

1. Created all things;

2. Gives Life

3. Is The Light of The World revealing God’s Truth.

This is all that The Bible states about The Word of God, with no second “being.” Also, realize that The Word is God’s Word. Therefore, The Word of God has to be an Entity of God Himself, and not another “being.”

Read Genesis 1:1-2. It is God, by His Word, who created all things. God’s very Words had the power to create the entire universe. Clearly, at this time, God, not Jesus, created all things, The Almighty God Himself. God did it by His very Word.

When Jesus, at His physical birth had God’s very Word put in Him, then Christ, as The Word, created all things. Once Jesus, at His birth, had God, our Father’s Word in Him, Christ then became God’s Word or The Logos. By becoming God’s Word, Jesus was, therefore, the one who created all things because He, now, at His birth, became the very Word of God which created everything.

This Light or The Word “⁹…lighteth every man that cometh into the world” (showing Salvation for everyone). Those who received The Word will become The Sons of God. “¹⁴And the Word [Greek, “logos”] was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” This Word, which became flesh (a human being), had The Glory of God, The Father. Verse 14 defines what The Word of God is. The Word of God was God’s Glory, and not another being. God’s Glory, which was The Word, was of God, The Father. The Word of God was not Christ as another “being,” and not a God before that Word was made flesh. The Bible plainly states that The Word of God was The Glory of God, Himself. When checking the original Greek word for “logos,” in Strong’s Concordance #3056, the meaning includes the notion of: “the thought,” ”reasoning,” “the mental faculty,” and “the divine expression.” Therefore, God’s Glory as The Logos is God’s thought and divine expression by The Power of God’s Holy Spirit.

John 17:5-10 ⁵And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. ⁶I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. ⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. ⁸For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. ⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. ¹⁰And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

Jesus explains what this Glory is in John 17:5-10. Christ asked God to give Him The Glory He had with God in the beginning. What was this Glory (The Word of God)? Verse 5 states that this Glory was from The Father Himself, not from another “being.” This Glory that Jesus had from the beginning was The Word of God that was given to Christ at His birth (John 3:34). Christ became The Word of God at His Birth by The Holy Spirit. In fact, this Glory (God’s Thought or God’s Message), which is from God, The Father, will, also, be in you, through Christ (John 17:10). Christ was The Rock that followed Israel because, before Jesus’ Birth, The Word of God, God’s Glory, was The Rock, which was to become Christ (I Corinthians 10:4). In the Hebrew, it is called “The Shekinah,” or “God’s very Presence” which includes “God’s Word” and “His Thoughts.”

GOD’S GLORY

In John 6:29, Jesus was asked the question about what is God’s Work? Jesus answered and said unto them, “²⁹This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he [God] hath sent.” God had sent Christ to do The Father’s Work. Christ was not sent by another God “being” to do God’s Work. God Himself sent Christ to do His Work. This was God’s Glory, which is The Word of God. How was this done?

Deuteronomy 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

“¹⁷But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [Wife] for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath [God has] for he is the beginning of his [God’s] strength; the right of the firstborn is his.”

Since Jesus is The Firstborn Son of God, The Law of Moses states that The Firstborn is to inherit a double portion of God’s Strength, or God’s Glory (which was The Word of God, and which was God). God gave a double portion of His Strength to Christ, so He could do The Father’s Work. Christ, before He was human, was in God’s Thoughts or Word, which became Jesus at His Birth. God’s Word was in Christ at His Birth, and Christ, therefore, became The Son of God. Since Jesus became, The Word, The Logos, at birth, Christ, therefore, created all things, since He now was God’s Devine Words and very Thoughts.

John, The Baptist explains what The Word of God is, and how Christ received The Firstborn’s Inheritance.

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

Notice, Christ at His physical birth, received the Father’s Words, not His own words as pre-existing. John said that Christ only spoke God’s Word, and had received a double measure of God’s Spirit. That is how Christ inherited the double portion from His Father. God’s Holy Spirit was given to Christ at His Inception. God’s Holy Spirit caused Mary to become pregnant through God’s Spirit. God’s Holy Spirit gave The Word to Jesus; therefore, He could speak God’s Words. The Word of God as defined by “The Scriptures” represents God’s Personal Words from The Father’s Mind (God’s Thoughts – Psalms 40:5) concerning what wonderful things God is doing through His Son – who now is The Word of God.

CHRIST AND THE FATHER’S WORK

Jesus answered The Pharisees and The Sadducees after they complained about Him working on The Sabbath day when He healed someone.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

Christ said that He and His Father Work. What type of Work is performed? Christ answered that question. In Matthew 18:11 Jesus said, “For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.”

I Corinthians 15:21-26 ²¹For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. ²²For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. ²³But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. ²⁴Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. ²⁵For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. ²⁶The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Jesus is doing The Work by bringing every person to Salvation. Christ is Restoring The Tree of Life as it was in The Garden of Eden. Jesus will destroy death, which will be the last enemy. No one will remain dead. Ultimately, everyone is Saved. But every man must be Saved “…in his own order….” (I Corinthians 15:23). This is The Work that Jesus is doing through, and by God, by means of His Father’s Holy Spirit.

JESUS QUALIFIES

The Apostle Paul said that Jesus was being made perfect, and as a consequence, Jesus became The Author of Eternal Salvation. This means that Christ had to qualify first, as The Author of your Salvation (Hebrews 5:9). Also read Revelation 5.

Christ has to Restore Life to The Whole Human Race. How is this done? It begins by He, being made Perfect.

Hebrews 10:5-10 ⁵Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: ⁶In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. ⁷Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me), to do thy will, O God. ⁸Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; ⁹Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. ¹⁰By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Paul quotes these Scriptures from Psalm 40. These texts prophesy The Christ coming to do God’s Will by offering His Body as a sacrifice for everyone. How does Christ perform The Father’s Will to become that sacrifice?

THE TEST

Jesus came to Save that which was lost in The Garden (The Tree of Life). He first had to destroy “the works of Satan.” Remember that Satan is the god of this world. So, by defeating Satan “Spiritually,” Christ proves that He is, indeed, your Savior and Redeemer. After Jesus was baptized by John, God, His Father, declared that this man is His Beloved Firstborn Son (Matthew 3:17). Afterward, Christ went into the wilderness to be tested by the devil. In the wilderness, Christ fasted for forty days and forty nights. Then, Jesus became ravenously hungry (Matthew 4:1-2). After forty days, one can only try to imagine the state of total exhaustion that Jesus, in the human flesh, felt without food and water. But Jesus had to fast in this manner, to prepare Himself to qualify, humanly, in order to win His contest with Satan. The Bible states that Jesus was “…an hungred.” (Matthew 4:2). This “an hungred” really means “to pine away,” or “to starve.”

There is an extremely important Spiritual point at this juncture. The test was whether or not Christ was The Word of God. Since Jesus was given God’s Spirit without measure, and spoke The Words of God (John 3:34), Christ was tested by Satan. Christ proved that He was truly The Word of God (God’s Son). Indeed, this was a universal test for all of God’s Creation (Romans 8:22). It is by The Word of God, literally God’s Words that were put into Christ, beginning at His birth, which, will ultimately happen to everyone (I Corinthians 15:28). God is reproducing Himself by His Words, The Word of God that will be in you, according to your growth, at your designated time frame. Christ, therefore, will be in you.

Since God is reproducing Himself to procreate Sons and Daughters, all who are Saved, including Jesus Christ, and the rest of mankind, must come from The Father, Almighty God Himself. The Word nor The Holy Spirit could not have been separate beings along with God, The Father.

For God to reproduce Himself by having Sons and Daughters, all mankind must come from God, The Father, directly just as Christ did, or you have nothing but confusion. That is what a family is.

HOW CHRIST Won OVER SATAN

What did Satan use as his weapon to attempt to defeat Christ? Satan used God’s Word, which is more powerful than a two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Christ’s first test was over food! In that ordeal, Jesus purposely allowed Himself to become desperately hungry by abstaining from food and water for forty days and nights. He was prepared for the test.

What did Satan ask Christ?

Matthew 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

What was Christ’s answer? In Matthew 4:4, Jesus said: “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

Jesus proved that The Word of God was in Him from birth. He truly was The Word of God. He was The Son of God. That was the test; and Jesus passed and qualified. Now with His ongoing Life, He had to live The Word of God and fulfill every Scripture written about Him (Mark 14:47-49). It’s God’s Devine Thoughts, The Logos, in Christ which proves He is The First Begotten Son of God.

In John 14:8, Philip, His disciple, said, “…shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.” Then Jesus answered:

John 14:9-11 ⁹Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? ¹⁰Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

Before Christ was taken to be crucified, He told Philip that he would know who The Father is by seeing Him (John 14:8-8). Why is this? Jesus said that He did not speak His “Words,” but rather that He spoke The Father’s Words – or The Word of God – which was in Christ from birth (John 3:34). This is how Jesus defeated Satan. It was by speaking The Words of God, and by doing the works of God’s Word. That is why Christ said that you must live by every Word of God. God’s Work is His Word, which is in His Son. Jesus Christ is The Word of God.

PROOF CHRIST WAS THE WORD

Many believe that Jesus came to give His Life for your sins. This is True. Jesus defeated Satan by proving that He was The Son of God. He was Living every Word, which proceeded from the mouth of God. He was The Word of God in The Flesh.

John 14:10 states that God’s Work is the same as God’s Word. Jesus said He did not speak His own Words, but He did speak everything that The Father told Him.

Christ said in John 14:11, “¹¹Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.” Watch how Christ Lives – so that you can believe His Works. What was Christ’s Work? His Work was to Live Every Word of God. Jesus said that the proof that The Father is in Him, is by watching Him Live Every Word of God.

To reveal Jesus was God’s Son, He had to live His Life according to The Scriptures. But He also had to Live and Experience every Scripture that was written about Him. At the time of Christ, The Old Testament was the only Scripture. In Psalms 40:7, David prophesied about Christ. David quoted from God’s Book written in God’s Thoughts. “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me.” This refers to Christ in the Future as a “human being.” Apollos was a mighty Biblical Preacher. He publicly showed by means of The Scriptures that Jesus was The Christ (Acts 18:28).

Furthermore, Acts 13:29 Paul said when Christ was hung on the tree and crucified – that everything that was written in The Scriptures about Him was fulfilled. In His human Life, Christ fulfilled everything that was written about Him in The Word of God.

Remember, Jesus said that if you didn’t believe that He and The Father are One, then believe The Works that He does (John 14:11). What was His Work? Jesus lived by Every Word of God and thereby proved He was The Son of God – because when He died, He had fulfilled every Scripture written about Him. Jesus is The Son of God!

MOSES WITNESSES THE WORD OF GOD

It is evident that The Scriptures prove The Word of God is equated with God’s very Words. In Psalms 40:5-7, David states that God’s Words are written in The Bible from God’s Thoughts (verse 5). God’s Thoughts cover all of His Plans and Purpose about Christ and eventually – you.

Jesus said that Moses accused The Pharisees and The Sadducees of his day (John 5:45-47). Why was this? It was because Moses wrote about Christ and said that Israel should believe the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ.

John 5:45-47 ⁴⁵Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. ⁴⁶For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Read what Moses said about Christ.

Deuteronomy 18:15-18 ¹⁵The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; ¹⁶According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. ¹⁷And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. ¹⁸I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

GOD IS THE WORD OF GOD

Who is The Word of God? God is. That is exactly what John 1:1 states. Moses clearly states that Christ is The Word of God and only spoke God’s Words (Deuteronomy 18:18). Genesis 1:1-2 also states God, The Father by His Word, created everything.

For Jesus to be The Son of God, He had to defeat Satan by Living Every Word of God that was written about Him. He had to be sinless, and finally offer His Body as a Sacrifice for your sins.

Jesus Christ is truly your Savior and Redeemer. But He is “The Author of Your Salvation” because He Lived Every Word that came from God. He, as The Word of God, is doing God’s Work as His Son. As The Firstborn, He is the beginning of God’s strength, which is God’s Word through The Power of The Holy Spirit.

The pre-existence of Jesus was not in the form of another “God being,” but as The Word of God, which was God’s Glory (John 1:14). God’s Glory is The Word of God as administered by God’s Holy Spirit, which became Christ, the human man. This “Shekinah” is God’s Presence in Thought, and is The Power of The Holy Spirit of God, The Father.

To deny The Word of God as God, The Father’s Words coming from God Himself, is to deny God is The One doing The Work. God, by His Word or Glory, works in His Son, Jesus, just as He works with each Christian, and eventually, all mankind. God will be “All and in All” (I Corinthians 15).

God gave to Christ, His Son, His Firstborn, His Holy Spirit, and His Word. The Apostle John warns that anyone who doesn’t believe Jesus came as a human being is anti-Christ (I John 4:1-3).

God’s Work is to reproduce Himself in everything (I Corinthians 15:28). God is reproducing Himself by His Son, Jesus. Jesus is God’s Firstborn Son receiving God’s very Words in Him by The Power of God’s Holy Spirit. This is The Work that God and His Son, Jesus, are doing. They are fulfilling The Very Words of God, for you to have Eternal Life.
