John 1:1-14
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 was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (Jn 1:1-14). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.
Who is the one true God? Is Jesus Christ true God? Is he the only true God? Has Jesus Christ created everything? If the Word was God how can he be with God? Answer God is three persons, Father Son and Holy Spirit, in one divine being. This is the only true God. God the Father sent his only begotten Son into the flesh.
Jesus is the Light of Light. He is true man and true God. He is the Word made flesh. This is the one we serve as Christians.
I once told someone that in order to be God you must have created everything. If you are going to fulfill the job requirements for God, you have to have made everything. So is it important that Jesus created everything? Yes, he reveals his power over Creation in Christ's various miracles.
This is the one in whom we bear witness. Jesus Christ is the Light that overcomes the darkness. He is the one that has given us forgiveness of sins. He is the one who gives us life and salvation. He alone makes us children of God. Jesus is not an Idol. Jesus is YHWH the LORD God who brought his people out of the land of Egypt.
