Nick Hansen - January 28tt, 2024 - Believe and become (John 1:1-13) Scripture Reading Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. Joh 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Joh 1:6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. Joh 1:7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. Joh 1:8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. Joh 1:9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. Christ’s Deity, Pre-Eminence Reading the Bible in order, John 1 comes as a surprise. Where did this deep, profound, and highly symbolic discourse come from? But in reality it is a review, and synthesis, because John had read the rest of the new testament and studied it in great detail. Col 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. Col 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through Him and for Him. Col 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. The light, the dark, and accountability Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Rom 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Believe and Become Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: (KJV) Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, (NASB) Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name, (MKJV) 1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
