- What The Bible Says About Knowing Jesus Christ
- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
- was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made;
- without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life
- was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has
- not understood it. There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.
- He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all
- men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to
- the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the
- world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the
- world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did
- not recieve him. Yet to all who recieved him, to those who believed in his
- name, he gave the right to become children of God-children not of natural
- descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word
- became flesh and lived for a while among us.
- John 1:1-14
- The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his
- being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided
- purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven..
- But about the Son he says, 'Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
- and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.'
- Hebrews 1:3, 8
