The biblical verses most applicable to my research and writing are at the beginning of the Book of John, 1: 1-4:
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.
What does “Word” refer to, or to whom? It is more than a word that is spoken in a given language. It refers to a power by which all that has been created was created by God through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am including a discussion taken from the Zondervan NIV Study Bible, 2002, Grand Rapids, Michigan:
Word, Greek logos, a term Greeks used not only of the spoken word but also of the unspoken word, the word still in the mind - the reason. [I offer that the Mind of God was the Source of ALL information that has been actualized in his creations, since information only comes from a mind as I have related in my blogs.] When they applied it to the universe, they meant the rational principle that governs all things [by specified information]. The Jews, however, used it to refer to the “word” of God by which he created the world and governs it [actualized information in his creations of energy and matter] and to refer to the law of God that he gave Israel to be the “way” for them to receive the inheritance of life. Of the law the rabbis said that it was “created before the world,” that it “lay on God’s bosom while God sat on the throne of glory,” that it was divine, that it was God’s “firstborn” [the begotten Jesus] through whom he “created the heaven and the earth,” that it is “light” and “life” for the world and that it “is truth.” . . . The Word was distinct from the Father, was God. Jesus was God in the fullest sense. life One of the great concepts of this Gospel. LIfe is Christ’s gift, and he, in fact, is “the life,” light of men. This Gospel also links light with Christ, from whom comes all spiritual illumination [by the power of the Holy Spirit]. He is the “light of the world,” who holds out wonderful hope for humanity and for the creation.
And we are blessed that God created mankind with the plan for a personal, intimate communion, a plan that has been addressed in my books and blogs that we might receive the truth of eternal life and light in Jesus Christ.
