Is Jesus A Product Of The Word Or The Word Himself? by Steep(m): 9:49pm On Apr 08
The scripture reveals that Jesus is The word of God. He is not simply a product of the word of God, some false teachers teach that Jesus was just a man who attained Godhood, or that he is simply a man born by the word, in contrast the scripture is very precise about the identity of Jesus, he is The word of God, he is the eternal Son of God who took on flesh every Christian was born through the word of God that means through the gospel but they are not the word of God.

Jesus is the word who was not created, He is called the word due to his office or function withing the Godhead, he is the one through whom the father's will, command come to pass just as the holy ghost functions as the power of God to enforce God's decree and will and the father is the authority of God.

The Son is the one through whom the father's plan, decisions comes through, the father ordains things, he ordains and appoint the Son to be the saviour and ruler of creation and that all creation should worship and obey the Son.

The Son reveals God, he is the one that exercises the authority of the father.

If God is to be known it is by the revelation of the word.

Without the word, God can not be known, nothing can be created, the whole creation is governed and sustained by the word.
Scientist discovered that the universe, the very fabric of the universe ( space-time) actually had a beginning which necessitate a cause that is outside space and time meaning whatever created the universe must be spaceless and timeless not only that the law of thermodynamics require that the universe has a limited energy and one day it would run out of energy and die out in heat death.

People foolishly ask who created God? Where was God before he created the universe? They think God need space to dwell, but recent discovery has found that space, yes empty space has a beginning and it is expanding meaning more space is being created.

Scripture tells us in the beginning was the Word, the word has no beginning he was there at the very beginning of creation, he is beyond creation, the word was with God the father and the Word was same God with the Father.

The word was a distinct person from the Father but yet same God with the Father and the Spirit. God by his nature cannot be created nor destroyed neither does he change, he is eternally a trinity of persons, when there was no space or time only God exist, There was no heaven, nor earth nor angel, no time only God. (The father, Son and Holy Spirit).

The word is a person just like the father and The holy Spirit.
A person here does not mean human it means God's self consciousness of being.
When the word became human he didn't stop being God, but rather he added the human nature to his divinity.
Today Jesus remains the God-man, having complete humanity and complete divinity.

The humanity of the word.
When the word took upon himself the human nature, he became like us in every way except sin.

Meaning he could get tired, eat, sleep had limited knowledge, coul be limited in space and time, that is why he said it is better for him to go, so the Holy Spirit can come. Jesus had to finish his earthly ministry for the holy Spirit to come, it would important to note that Jesus didn't become the holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is already another person of the Godhead just like the father. Jesus was a perfect man like Adam was. Just like Adam before his fall, Jesus was sinless but unlike Adam he didn't give in to the temptation of sin. He obey and submitted to the father till his last breath.
Jesus died as the perfect man but he was raised not just as the perfect man but as the glorified man, before his resurrection he like Adam was a little lower than the Angels but after his resurrection he became higher than the angels in his humanity, Jesus is the first fruit of what Christians will become at his comings, we will become glorified like christ and reign with him.
Jesus would continue to reign as a man till he has put down all opposition and destroy death then he would hand over the redeemed kingdom of men back to the father and he himself as a reigning man would subject himself to the father.
This does not mean he would stop reigning or stop ruling as God's king nor that he would stop being a human but his humanity would be completely subject to the father, right now God's judgment is still be tempered by Jesus humanity, Jesus simpatise with our human weakness and mediate for us to receive help in times of need but ones will are already glorified all that won't be needed o Jesus humanity would then be forever subject to the father's will but he remains forever the God-man our saviour and our king.

If you want to be saved and part of Christ kingdom, you would your sin washed away be reborn, this happens when you accept the Lord Jesus christ as your Lord and saviour. If you believe in the Lord Jesus and that he died and God the father raised him from the dead, congratulations you are saved you can now body confess that Jesus is your Lord and saviour to anyone you meet because you have just being saved.

For more spiritual growth it is advisable to seek for a church the preach nothing else than christ and him crucified and for instruction on holy living.

Jesus is called ONLY BEGOTTEN because he came out from God.

John 16:27-28 "I came out from God. Neither came I by myself but he sent me.".

Why don't many christians know and use this?

Yes Jesus is the word that came out from God, as for the word " Only begotten" the Greek word is monogenes which means one and only, it describes uniqueness of Christ relationship with the Father rather than just his incarnation.

But Bob was a slave to sin just like every human, true freedom comes from the Son of God.
