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.
What does it mean by the word “Word”? Obviously, the Word pertains to Jesus Christ. Word is Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus is the Word of God.
The term Word is translated from the Greek word “Logos”. He is the “Logos” of God. Why did John choose to describe Jesus as the Word? Because the word of God is the manifestation of God’s power in the creation of the world.
The Word is what God “used” to create the world.
As written in the Old Testament:
And God said, “Let there be light”, (Gen. 1:3)
And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” (Gen. 1:6)
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.”
And it was so. (Gen. 1:9)
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. (Gen. 1:11)
From these scriptures, we can see that the work of creation was done by the Word of God. The universe was made from when God sent forth His Word.
And as was said in Genesis 1, He was with God in the beginning. He was with God during the time of creation, which is the beginning, because it was Jesus who was sent forth. God was not alone during the creation, for Jesus was with God during the creation.
It is clearly stated in Genesis 1:26: 26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
Take note, God said “Us.” He is talking to someone here. He’s definitely not speaking to His angels. Nothing in the Bible that says mankind is created to the likeness of the angels.
Simply put, Jesus Christ created the world. And mankind was created in His image.
Colossians 3:10: “we are being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator”
Not only in Genesis that says this, in Hebrews 1:2 we can also learn the same: 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.
Even in Colossians 1:16, Paul says the same thing about Christ: 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.” This is Paul describing the Supremacy of the Son of God being the creator and the administrator of all things.
