The WORD: Genesis of all Words

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made (John 1:1-3)

THE WORD is the Genesis of every other word. Without the Word, no other words could ever have come into being. The Word refers to the Word of God. All other words came out of the womb of the Word; this Word that is One with God!

The Word is “the express image of His Person” (Hebrews 1:3); the exact manifestation of God’s personality. The Word of God carries no less power than His Person. In fact, the Word is the inseparable second Person of the tri-une Godhead. It is impossible to separate God from His eternal Word.

The Word brought all Life into being: all other words emanated from Him. The Word is a living entity – a Living Person. All other words – so long as they are off-springs of the Word – must be living entities. Words are necessarily backed by beings!

This is the powerful secret behind the nature of words, which men over the ages have failed to realize, appreciate and appropriate. The Bible has a great deal to reveal about “words” and their nature.
