“IN THE BEGINNING WAS the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:11In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)). Go as far back in eternity as we will, before ever was a creature, angelic or human, in all the universe of God, we are told “the Word WAS.” It never began to be, for “the Word was God” —the Eternal.
“IN THE BEGINNING, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:11In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1:1)). Now we have divine power speaking worlds into being by the fiat of His will. “He spake and it was done, He commanded and it stood fast.” That which was “FROM THE BEGINNING” (1 John 1:11That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (1 John 1:1)), as explained by the writer himself (John 15:2727And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. (John 15:27) John 6), takes us no further back than the incarnation of the blessed Son of God. “The Word became flesh and tabernacled amongst us, and we contemplated his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth”!
Thus all scripture is in divine harmony with itself, and calls for our subjection to it, that we may believe and thus understand.
