The WORD

God the Son is called the WORD of God.

John 1:1 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. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Why this name, WORD?

Our words are an expression of who we really are. What we say (and do) become the expression of who we are. In days gone by, it was the words of a King that a subject experienced life or death. The power of the word is everlasting.

God the Father created through the WORD of God in the power of His Spirit. The Triune God in perfect harmony and unity of purpose and focus. Each and exact expression of the other. Each fully God but only ONE GOD!

The amazing thing is verse 14 of the same chapter: "And the Word became 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."

The WORD became flesh and lived with us, humans! Amazing! Amazing!
