The Word
DAY 32 WRITTEN BY: PEYTON MAGANN-
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
-
The Gospel of John is a divinely inspired eyewitness account about the life of Jesus, “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” John 20:31
To better understand “in the beginning was the Word”, we have to continue reading through Chapter 1 verse 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 Word, whom John was referring, was the person of Jesus Christ. The verse goes on to say that the Word was not only with God, but He was God! Scripture continues to back up this claim in verses 2-3, “He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through Him and apart from Him, not one thing was created.”
The Gospel of John teaches us that growth in the knowledge of God comes from believing and knowing Jesus Christ — the Eternal Word and one and only Son of God, who was with God and was God. It is through the Word that Gods plan of salvation was spoken and is being fulfilled. John shares this with us, so that we who know Him and believe in His Word, would share the Word of God with the unbelieving world around us — so that they may have life in His name.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the Eternal Word, in whom I have everlasting life. Enable me, by your Spirit, to put believing and knowing the Word of God into action, through obedience to your scripture and proclaiming your Holy name.
