From The Beginning

From The Beginning I John 1.1-3 The Son of God is one with the Father and the Spirit. God in three Persons, Blessed Trinity. God is Eternal. He has always existed, is and always will be. Isaiah 40.28 The LORD is the everlasting God,     the Creator of the ends of the earth. John 1. 3 Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. He is the Creator. Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father are One. Jesus Christ is Eternal. Philippians 2.5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God,     did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; 7 rather, He made Himself nothing     by taking the very nature of a servant,     being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man,     He humbled himself     by becoming obedient to death—         even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place     and gave Him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,     in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,     to the glory of God the Father. Colossians 1. 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross. The Son of God is from the beginning. He became a man. The Creator at the creature’s breast. Hebrews 1. 1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom also He made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So He became as much superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is superior to theirs. John 8.58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” He is * The Eternal Word John 1.1-2 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. Micah 5.2 “... Whose origins are from old, from ancient times.” or from “everlasting”. The Hebrew word for "everlasting" means "beyond the vanishing point". When things began as we know time, God already was. He was always. He is. He always will be. We have eternity in our hearts. Ecclesiastes 3.11 ... He has set eternity in the hearts of men... This makes us unique. This makes us hunger and thirst for God. He has shared His Nature with us. The Eternal One was there when we were conceived and when we born. Psalm 139.13 For You created my inmost being;     You knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;     Your works are wonderful,     I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You     when I was made in the secret place,     when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;     all the days ordained for me were written in Your book     before one of them came to be. What is happening in your life today, God wrote in His Book before the beginning of time. We are in touch with Eternity back, here and when time is no more. We need to remember that the LORD’s ultimate goal for us in to fit us for heaven. He uses all of our experiences in this life. Psalm 100.3 Know that the LORD is God.     It is He Who made us, and we are His;     we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Walking with Jesus, the Eternal Word. His Word in us. His Spirit within us, making us like Him. The Creator of the universe and all that exists is personally involved in our lives! We have fellowship with Him! v.3 fellowship= community, communion, joint participation, intimacy From the root word: a partner, associate, comrade, companion We are heading on the path that leads us to Him at the end. Psalm 48.14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end. That means right now He is with you, at work within you, knows the way. He is the Way! What a wonderful Savior and LORD! He is... * The Word of Life The expression of God The Living Word and the Written Word are the same. Jesus came from eternity was here and went back into eternity. His Word is eternal in the heavens. Psalm 119.89 Your word, LORD, is eternal; It stands firm in the heavens. Here is such an important Truth. God’s Word, Jesus, is in Heaven. By His Spirit Jesus is in us, with us and upon us. He walks with us. Even though heaven and earth pass away His Words will never pass away. They stand firm in the heavens. Jesus never fails. We can depend on Him. We can depend on what He has said. He is with us. He knows all about our struggles. He will guide us to the end. All the Way my Savior leads me, has led me, will lead me. There is not a friend like Jesus. "There’s no higher dream than experiencing God as He moves through every circumstance of life to an eternal encounter with Himself where transformed people will enjoy perfectly loving community around Jesus Christ, the source of Perfect Love. If that really is the highest dream of the human soul, why do so many of us dream only of lesser things and then despair when those dreams are shattered?" -Larry Crabb Jesus has the Words of Life. John 6.68 He is * The Word Become Flesh Titus 1. 1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness— 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, Who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, That is eternity back, before the beginning of time. He humbled Himself He became a man He became obedient to death on a cross He understands our predicament. He walked in a human body. Revelation 13.8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. This was God’s plan. This was God’s will This demonstrates God’s love for us. We walk with Him in the light of His Word. One day we understand. We will know even as we are known. He is coming again. Jesus is our Hope. He has the Words of eternal Life!
