You might say that I was a rather late spiritual bloomer, tripping my way into the Lord's arms not all that long ago. Nevertheless, I've been on the fast track ever since through a decade of Bible study courses and daily devotion. Changing careers a few years back and becoming a published author of Christian motivational books, leading to spiritual children's books and now this blog.

Hello, The Wycliffe Bible puts it this way:
“1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word. [In the beginning was the word, that is, God’s Son, and the word was at God, and God was the word.]
2 This was in the beginning at God.
3 All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing [nought], that thing that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men;”
I think that is a better view of it, don’t you?
In my posts I hyperlink a few words so when you touch them you’ll go to another page with an explanation or Hebrew/Greek definition. In the case of this article the word I hyperlinked was, “word”. Interestingly enough this explanation reads…
Word – Whenever you see a noun capitalised in the NKJV, it’s referring to Jesus. This is one of the many reasons I uses the New King James Version of the Bible.
Word of God – “For the word of God is living and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword……and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
This is so important for people to understand so they can clearly identity the author of the entire Bible.
Additionally, the word used in the Greek is Logos, which means word, thought, speech.
In the New Testament, logos is used to refer to the constant, written word, which is recorded in the Bible. How incredible it is that we human beings can have God’s written word in our hands…the wisdom of all eternity printed in a book for us.
God loves us so much.
Thanks for your input. I wish everyone studied as hard as you clearly are.
