the beginning: In the Scriptures, the meaning of the term “beginning” depends on the context. Here the Greek word ar·khe cannot refer to “the beginning” of God the Creator, for he is eternal, having no beginning. (Ps 90:2) It must, therefore, refer to the time when God be- gan creating. God’s first creation was termed the Word, a heavenly designa- tion of the one who became Jesus. (Joh 1:14-17) So Jesus is the only one who can rightly be called “the firstborn of all creation.” (Col 1:15) He was “the begin- ning of the creation by God” (Re 3:14), so he existed before other spirit creatures and the physical universe were created. In fact, by means of Jesus, “all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth.”-Col 1:16; for other exam- ples of how the term “beginning” is used, see study note on Joh 6:64. the Word: Or “the Logos.” Greek, ho logos. Here used as a title, it is also used at Joh 1:14 and Re 19:13. John identified the one to whom this title belongs, name- ly, Jesus. This title was applied to Jesus during his prehuman existence as a spir- it creature, during his ministry on earth as a perfect man, and after his exaltation to heaven. Jesus was God’s Word of com- munication, or Spokesman, for conveying information and instructions to the Cre- ator’s other spirit sons and to humans. So it is reasonable to think that prior to Jesus’ coming to earth, Jehovah on many occasions communicated with mankind through the Word, His angelic mouth- piece.-Ge 16:7-11; 22:11; 31:11; Ex 3:2-5; Jg 2:1-4; 6:11, 12; 13:3. with: Lit., “toward.” In this context, the Greek preposition pros implies close prox- imity and fellowship. It also indicates separate persons, in this case, the Word and the only true God. the Word was a god: Or “the Word was divine [or, “a godlike one”].” This state- ment by John describes a quality or characteristic of “the Word” (Greek, ho logos; see study note on the Word in this verse), that is, Jesus Christ. The Word’s preeminent position as the firstborn Son of God through whom God created all other things is a basis for describing him as “a god; a godlike one; divine; a divine being.” Many translators favor the ren- dering “the Word was God,” equating him with God Almighty. However, there are good reasons for saying that John did not mean that “the Word” was the same as Almighty God. First, the preceding clause and the following clause both clearly state that “the Word” was “with God.” Also, the Greek word the·os occurs three times in verses 1 and 2. In the first and third occurrences, the·os is preceded by the definite article in Greek; in the second occurrence, there is no article. Many scholars agree that the absence of the definite article before the second the·os is significant. When the article is used in this context, the·os refers to God Almighty. On the other hand, the absence of the article in this grammati- cal construction makes the·os qualitative in meaning and describes a characteristic of “the Word.” Therefore, a number of Bi- ble translations in English, French, and German render the text in a way similar to the New World Translation, conveying the idea that “the Word” was “a god; divine; a divine being; of divine kind; godlike.” Supporting this view, ancient translations of John’s Gospel into the Sahidic and the Bohairic dialects of the Coptic lan- guage, probably produced in the third and fourth centuries C.E., handle the first occurrence of the·os at Joh 1:1 differently from the second occurrence. These ren- derings highlight a quality of “the Word,” that his nature was like that of God, but they do not equate him with his Father, the almighty God. In harmony with this verse, Col 2:9 describes Christ as having “all the fullness of the divine quality.” And according to 2Pe 1:4, even Christ’s joint heirs would “become sharers in divine na- ture.” Additionally, in the Septuagint translation, the Greek word the·os is the usual equivalent of the Hebrew words ren- dered “God,” el and elo·him, which are thought to convey the basic meaning “Mighty One; Strong One.” These Hebrew words are used with reference to the al- mighty God, other gods, and humans❤

God bless @bibleproject... realised most Christians like me really don't know the bible... we read in bits, but this brings context... Wish your team can do the whole bible, and we can translate in African local languages and share... how can i help?
I totally am mind blown with the crew behind the scenes, who put much care and effort to bring out the idea in the simplest ways that our hearts respond to it ❤️ God works through everyone in this Team, Amen.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 10:27-28 (KJV) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Once saved always saved!!!
This is the book that made me fall in love with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the wonderful gift that is the bible. This came at a perfect time. I have been feeling weak spiritually. more than weak, because weak implies that there is some strength there. This brought me to tears. God Bless you and your channel. God Bless everyone behind this project. God Bless those that click on this willingly, and those who lick on it accidently. God Bless those that watch it believing, and God Bless those that watch it not believing.
I gave up a long time ago. It is only in the last two decades that I have finally completely woken up. I Now understand that Christianity is just another form of Mythology and even the Old Testament reads like a Greek myth. And in fact a lot of it did come from Greek thought as well as Mesopotamia and other places, any place except palestine.
@@jamesarnette1394The old testament Hebrew Bible was written before the belief in Greek mythology. Please consider this as well. God has not given up on you my friend.
Greek mythology began in the late Bronze Age, something like 1100 BCE. It was about that same time that the mythology of Troy began as well. The books that were written by who we call Homer were written around 800 BCE but described supposed events that were late Bronze Age time period. The times lineup perfectly. I don't know what you're talking about.
@@wataboutya9310 God fills up eternity, he lives out side of time and in it. It was always known who was going to be this or that. Everyone has a choice,but God knows what you will choose so he makes your choice easier. If you're going to choose to not love him he will harden your heart like pharoh for his purposes. But those that love him he will call.
My 5 year old son and I are awaiting this video. He loves watching and learning with the Bible Project videos! We’ve made it a daily routine. For the past couple years.
Its funny, ok so John when he is writing his gospel, probably has some knowledge of the Holy Spirit as his gospel was penned late in the first century. So John when he says the Word was with God and God, he probably does have some thought of the H S as being divine too. Since he was around at Pentecost. , there is just so much to consider when examining John's gospel and I truly wish scripture spike more about the Holy Spirit.
@@ericday4505the holy Spirit is God dwelling in us. Jesus Christ is the fullness of God manifested in flesh. Aka, God dwelling in a human body to make himself known to us. Because he told Moses that no man can see him and live, that means his original form cannot be expressed to us on sinful earth. But the glorious thing is that he chooses to meet us as Jesus Christ, which is the name of God the father, the son and the holy Spirit (think of these as various offices occupied by the same God) like how a man can be Uncle, Brother, Father.
Honestly this is my favorite gospel. It’s the one that brought me to a place of repentance where I could truly accept Jesus as Lord over my life. Haven’t been the same since 💕
Live the life that is true to you. How is it one seeks others to fulfill you? Enlil aka jesus has many challenges before him. Soon what is shalt be revealed.
Same. I have been trying to witness a friend of mine who is Mormon. One day I asked him his thoughts about God. He gave the Mormon answer and I used multiple verses from John.
Let's consider the significance of speech. God could have nodded, or blinked, or motioned with his hand, but instead he is described as speaking. Words express the mind, will, and character of a person. Words reveal identity. We can observe much about a person based on what we see, but we can’t begin to know them personally until they speak to us. When God created the universe, he spoke it into existence. “The Word became flesh” (John 1:14). Creation begins with God speaking, and then a new creation begins when this speaking “Word” of God becomes a human being in the flesh, the living and active person of Jesus. As John says, “In him was life, and that life was the light of humanity” (John 1:4). For more information on John 1, check out the following resources: -John 1 Study Notes: tbp.xyz/john1studynotes -John 1 Script References: tbp.xyz/john1script -John 1 Blog Post: tbp.xyz/john1blog -John 1 Podcast Episode: tbp.xyz/john1podcast
To know God you must first become selfless "deny yourself" egoless or die to the self only then can the Holy Spirit of Truth enter into you. Then you will witness Truth and will despair for humanity who are not just blind to Truth humanity is dead to Truth. The "self" (ego) cannot experience Truth. All humanity must rise from death into Life to Live. This is the first death and resurrection. Churchianity continues to teach the Bible literally and so Christians never experience their bodies "full of light" (Life / resurrection) and they never see the Holy Spirit. Everyone has the Spirit of this world (ego). Only God's anointed receive the Spirit of Truth then humanity ridicules, mocks, despises and condemns them "believing they are doing God's will". The ego (all 7 billion) cannot be experience Truth. People really need to understand what it means to surrender the "self" to God. Really you must die to Live. Peace be with you. PS: Every word of the Bible is about YOU and no one else. It's your story. Your guide.
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. - Book of Revelation.
That's actually really beautiful, to view the Bible as more than a book, more than a guide, but rather as an invitation to learn about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and to develop this relationship that cannot end. Truly beautiful!
@5.10 The Greek original doesn't say "the one and only God, which is in the bosom of the Father", it says "the only begotten son, which is in the bosom of the Father". So stop with that blasphemy! God doesn't sleep, doesn't die, doesn't eat, doesn't go to the toilet etc. but Jesus did ;)!
if you look at the gospel of John in a historical context it would actually be one of the worst genealogies of Jesus and the gospel of mark would be the best due to mark being written around 30 years after Jesus death which means mark can recall directly what Jesus did however John was told through oral tradition and was written around 90-110 AD and mark and Luke are vastly different as it is highly possible that alot was lost through these hundred years of oral tradition
I really like the otherworldly sound of John in this video. It’s like pointing to his sanctification, and how he’s been divinely inspired by God the Holy Spirit to write about and to remember Jesus Christ, in such a powerful way! 😭😄🥳
As GOD does exist,is tender, merciful,etc etc& you can of course talk to Him.And thats the the Best&Easiest way to proceed. You don't need any intermediaries or performances etc - & in fact even if well meaning cannot improve on a 1 :1 Relationship. His Agenda is to liberate you, inform you,look after you , defend you & ! introduce you to the Mighty Kingdom of Heaven where where all good things are ratified- & with EternalLife ( with a capital L! )amongst the 'fringe benefits' so to speak.!.."Out of sight,far from view, Beyond the reach of a Nightmare (=Fallen Earth ) come true" as has been said .However even this will be sorted too as/when the Lord sees fit since He created it-Immeasurably better than as now , Sin corroded as it presently is: He said the Meek shall Inherit the Earth( as well as the Kingdom!) so another 'plus'...Altho' He can talk to- Anyone(He did to thousands in Palestine as Gospels confirm) He tends to communicate pro tem even more directly[you will not - never- be neglected so attend to what happens when you Communicate!]Meantime 'Save the Planet 'sentiment continues to (wilfully!) ignore He Who Can!...
@HOUSE OF YAH! YHWH your Elohim is ONE. The Triune God is ONE not 3. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are of ONE being and of 3 personages. Not 3 beings.
and the word Jesus was with the Most High. Acts 4:30 while you stretch out your hand for healing and while signs and wonders occur through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” Acts 4:27 For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
This passage was geared to Jewish people since it talks of the Torah and has that ending of the cliff-hanger sentence. G-d really did come to John to create this. It's physical perfection.
So, God had sex with himself and gave birth to himself so that he could become human and have himself killed to please himself as payment for Mankind's sins and so those who accept him are without sin. Did I get any of that right? I'm wondering how some deity can set everything up so that the deity becomes a person who's killed to make peace with the deity. Sounds pretty circular to me and it does not make sense no matter how much you apologized for it.
@@jamesarnette1394 The reason it does not make sense to you is because you’re looking at the incarnation of God as Jesus Christ purely through a human, limited lens. In the Old Testament, God actually shows up on earth as man, both to Abraham and Jacob in Genesis, to Gideon and Manoah in Judges and in many other books. In the New Testament, God doesn’t just want to appear on earth as a man, but also live a full life as all human beings who ever existed does and so He chooses to be born through a woman. God does not procreate nor is He dependant upon a mate to create human beings, so when He chooses to enter creation as a human being Himself, He can do so as He pleases. The Mary was obedient to the Heavenly Father and gave birth to the body of His eternal Son by power of the Holy Spirit who is Lord and giver of Life.
@@eniolaelisery1503 beautiful a beautiful little fairy tale. Do you have a version with illustrations? I'd like to see the full book please. I seem to miss out on your source of infinite knowledge, so I apologize for being an idiot and for not understanding things that are purely stupid.
In today's generation, God used different methods to show His love and compassion to all humanity and Bible project is one of them. More power to you guys and to the staff of this wonderful creative idea.
Jesus said man can not live on bread alone... Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life, yet still told us to be submitted to "every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"
I just love this interpretation with these two great men of God and the forces that help them do the work of the Almighty God! You can feel their love through this recording…all I can do is smile and be grateful that we have the same Eternal Father!
I was Literally thinking about this an hour ago. If God’s words turned darkness into light, our words turn darkness into light!!! The power of our words can shape our experience on this earth. Just think if people spoke only kindness and love what would our life’s look like? I really think something is behind this!! God is good!!!
@Artur ok well you have a strong opinion. I disagree with you and there are many examples in the Bible that your words have power. I can obviously see John was showing us that our words can help us if they line up with what God stands for. You speak hate anger, jealousy, gossip. You bring darkness. Speak love, faith, hope, positive things you bring light. I also believe that we have the Holy Spirit in us and we do have the power to get rid of darkness. Jesus said truly if you have faith as big as a mustard seed you can truly tell a mountain to move and it will. I stand behind my comment and believe you are wrong. God bless
@@queen_sophie7515 The Bible goes into plenty of detail about the impact of words and what they reveal about our character. In that sense, Artur is right; you don’t need to theorize or say “I believe” because the Bible already talks about it in many places. Make a study of that topic! The concern Artur has is that part of what you’re saying sounds like Word of Faith teachings, which are heresy. There is a difference between human speech and how God speaks. God can bring things into existence because he is eternal; he fills all of time and space so when he speaks, his words also fill time and space. But we are mortal and finite. Our words live and die with us, and we can only speak about what God has already created. As fallen beings, our words no longer fully align with the truth either. Which is why we look to what God says in his Word rather than ourselves. Our words do matter and can help or hurt people in the way people perceive them, but they can’t alter reality or creation or time or space like God can. That’s a difference you will need to acknowledge if you don’t already.
Positive words, love in action, Wisdom can be shown conquering sin in many examples. My favorite. 1 Samuel 25:32-34 (KJV) 32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: 33 And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 34 For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. After Nabal’s death, David married the Wise Abigail. Her Love of Right conquered the wrath of man.
@@Window4503 Well I disagree. I believe our word bring positive or negative things in our lives. I believe that God is the Alpha and Omega the first and the last and I believe he is in our hearts. We do have the power to get rid of darkness in our lives. I have read the whole Bible and have studied it. Some things are known to others that are not understood by all. Sorry you can’t see what I am saying and that is very clearly laid out in the passage. Maybe one day God will open your eyes to the power we have in ourselves to help us and others. All it takes is a little Faith. God bless.
@Artur I don’t get what you disagree with? That our words call darkness or light? This passage that is in the video is about my comment. It is the example. I understand that sometimes God let’s you understand a verse deeper then just the surface. I understand that you don’t agree maybe you don’t understand because God thinks your not there spiritually yet. That why Jesus spoke in parables because some will understand but not all will. People read a verse and get 20 different teaching out of that one verse. Not one is wrong because it is a revelation from God. It just depends on how close to God you are. I am not here to debate what every verse is about. I believe one thing you believe another. Not everyone that reads the Bible comes to the same conclusion. That’s why there are so many religions out there on one Bible. I know in my heart what God is teaching me from this verse. You just have to understand what God is teaching you from this verse. There is no right and wrong as long as it is done with love. God bless
So good. I've been doing a Bible-In-A-Year course. I never actually read it from cover ti cover before-and your work inspired me to do this. Can't thank you enough.
Why am I finding these videos this year,am astonished that they were made two years and some one year and even some! Eight years ago,how,I would have been saved and love Jesus long ago but God has a mighty plan for all of us.I learnt about the project from Facebook just recently, May God bless you all.
Shalom Bibleproject. Peace, Mercy and Grace be with you all. There is no way to describe my joy in finding this channel by the grace of our heavenly father. Thank you for bringing the truth of why we exist in such peaceful way. This sharing of wisdom about the living God is a blessing for all. May He bless you all, you and your households. Amen.
Man, the image and sound of the son in the father’s lap on the throne… that was a powerful image of the Father’s love for His Son and the Son’s love for His Father, to me at least. Made me tear up.
Great work, as usual, with a twist that reveals the intricate pattern of Scripture. You two breathe life into the Testaments like nobody else, and your animations and sound effects are a real pleasure. Thank you, and God bless you all!
@@sassiebrat John 1:1 clearly says that the is Jesus. Jesus pre existed before his human birth. The word was with God, so that implies that something was there. In verse 2 of John it gives a strong hint by saying "HE" existed in the beginning with God and nothing was created except through him. Meaning that if Jesus speaks he gives life by his WORD. John 1:1-13 explains everything about his pre-existence and him being the word. 💯🙏🏿
@@emmanuelaboagye434...John tells us that the Word BECAME flesh. If you BECOME something, then you are not that thing until you BECOME it. If Jesus was always Jesus, what happened to His body while Mary was giving birth to baby Jesus? Were there two Jesuses? I don't think so.

@@bibleproject it’s so true y’all have helped me so much!! I’ve been going through a hard time in my life and y’all have helped me know that God is still there for me ❤️
Beautiful! The Gospel according to John has always been my favorite telling of the 4 because of how John expresses Jesus in relation to the cosmic origin and how it mirrors Genesis 1. Great job as always guys!
I love John. I will be teaching the book of John for the first time in a senior's residence in which I live. The Holy Spirit is leading me with the help of my anointed pastor to start with this book. I said Lord here I am. Guide me and let the Holy Spirit speak to me. Many of the residents claim they know God, but I want to help them understand with the help of the Holy Spirit that it is not about knowing God, but learning how to have a Spiritual Relationship with Him. The Bible Project is the perfect start. This will enable them to see for themselves and have some type of understanding. Of Course! The Bible is also a must. Thank You Bible Project. Blessings! to all. Amen
Well done. Thanks for your work throughout this project. I would add that, as John no doubt knew, the ancient Israelites referred to what we call the Ten Commandments, as the Ten Words. In Jesus, God now speaks one final Word to all creation not just one family or tribe. This final Word is not written, but comes to us in the one both truly human and fully God. This Jesus is God’s final Word. Let those who have ears, listen and hear. Grace to all…
That was beautiful guys! I have never thought of Johns dual ways of looking and defining Jesus as you have illustrated and talked about on your podcast. Thank You!!
Amos 5:7-8 O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth! Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name: Amos 5:10 They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth. Amos 5:13-14 Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time, for it is an evil time. Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. Proverbs 5:1-8 My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house. Proverbs 5:20-23 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray. Job 36:12 But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword and die without knowledge. Matthew 25:46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. John 5:29 and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. Daniel 12:2-3 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. 🙏🏼

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son (Jesus), which is in the bosom of the Father (JEHOVAH), has made him known. John 14:31 Jesus said: But for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has commanded me to do. 24 Whoever does not love me does not observe my words. The word that you are hearing is NOT MINE, but belongs to the Father (JEHOVAH) WHO SENT ME.
The original manuscripts says no one has seen God at any time, THE ONLY GOD, who is in the bosom of the Father has made him known. Jehovah is The Father, The Son, and The Spirit. Everytime people had a visual encounter with God in the Old Testament, they saw pre incarnate Jesus. Jesus is God, the fullness of deity dwells in him.

Wow, haven't watched the video but what a beautiful moment of synchronicity gifted from God. My Youth just started learning about fasting yesterday. We are finally able to go back into Church this Sunday so we decided to Fast together until we meet again and break our fast at our after service morning tea. Each day of our fast we read a chapter of the book of John and here you've posted a video about the first chapter!! What a gift, thank you Bible Project ❤️ Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Every time I read John 1:18 in Greek, I always translate the last phrase as "He has made [Him] known." I've never questioned why I had to insert the pronoun to complete the sentence, and neither have I thought that John intentionally left it incomplete. Thanks for this! This makes a whole lot of sense to me now.
God is Omnipresent,God is in the entire Universe and in each of His children, but not all of you feel His closeness, the presence of your God..................... God has His Sanctuary in your heart, He has given you the key so that you can open it, but this must be born of your own will, that is the duty that corresponds to us.

John 1:14 - And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.
The root word is wmelt but can also have a Niqqud and becomes wmelta (melto in latin).
So the word=ܘܡܠܬܐ which has 4 meanings depending on the context of the verse....
*word, case, cause, matter
(I have includes the translations for you from aramaic but will leave you to decide which word was the correct definition to let you think about it and do some work :) -bottom of post).
The answer IS in the Quran ...what the actual Word is when Jesus pbuh was to be *ordaned as only-begotten and favoured above Jews to spread truth and justice against transgressions.
It was the Nasara who became muslim in the middle east as the verses were preserved in the quran.

the beginning: In the Scriptures, the meaning of the term “beginning” depends on the context. Here the Greek word ar·khe cannot refer to “the beginning”
of God the Creator, for he is eternal, having no beginning. (Ps 90:2) It must, therefore, refer to the time when God be- gan creating. God’s first creation was termed the Word, a heavenly designa- tion of the one who became Jesus. (Joh 1:14-17) So Jesus is the only one who can rightly be called “the firstborn of all creation.” (Col 1:15) He was “the begin- ning of the creation by God” (Re 3:14), so he existed before other spirit creatures and the physical universe were created. In fact, by means of Jesus, “all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth.”-Col 1:16; for other exam- ples of how the term “beginning” is used, see study note on Joh 6:64.
the Word: Or “the Logos.” Greek, ho logos. Here used as a title, it is also used at Joh 1:14 and Re 19:13. John identified the one to whom this title belongs, name- ly, Jesus. This title was applied to Jesus during his prehuman existence as a spir- it creature, during his ministry on earth as a perfect man, and after his exaltation to heaven. Jesus was God’s Word of com- munication, or Spokesman, for conveying
information and instructions to the Cre- ator’s other spirit sons and to humans. So it is reasonable to think that prior to Jesus’ coming to earth, Jehovah on many occasions communicated with mankind through the Word, His angelic mouth- piece.-Ge 16:7-11; 22:11; 31:11; Ex 3:2-5; Jg 2:1-4; 6:11, 12; 13:3.
with: Lit., “toward.” In this context, the Greek preposition pros implies close prox- imity and fellowship. It also indicates separate persons, in this case, the Word and the only true God.
the Word was a god: Or “the Word was divine [or, “a godlike one”].” This state- ment by John describes a quality or characteristic of “the Word” (Greek, ho logos; see study note on the Word in this verse), that is, Jesus Christ. The Word’s preeminent position as the firstborn Son of God through whom God created all other things is a basis for describing him as “a god; a godlike one; divine; a divine being.” Many translators favor the ren- dering “the Word was God,” equating him with God Almighty. However, there are good reasons for saying that John did not mean that “the Word” was the same as Almighty God. First, the preceding clause and the following clause both clearly state that “the Word” was “with God.” Also, the Greek word the·os occurs three times in verses 1 and 2. In the first and third occurrences, the·os is preceded by the definite article in Greek; in the second occurrence, there is no article.
Many scholars agree that the absence of the definite article before the second the·os is significant. When the article is used in this context, the·os refers to God Almighty. On the other hand, the absence of the article in this grammati- cal construction makes the·os qualitative in meaning and describes a characteristic of “the Word.” Therefore, a number of Bi- ble translations in English, French, and German render the text in a way similar to the New World Translation, conveying the idea that “the Word” was “a god; divine; a divine being; of divine kind; godlike.” Supporting this view, ancient translations of John’s Gospel into the Sahidic and the Bohairic dialects of the Coptic lan- guage, probably produced in the third and fourth centuries C.E., handle the first occurrence of the·os at Joh 1:1 differently from the second occurrence. These ren- derings highlight a quality of “the Word,” that his nature was like that of God, but they do not equate him with his Father, the almighty God. In harmony with this verse, Col 2:9 describes Christ as having “all the fullness of the divine quality.” And according to 2Pe 1:4, even Christ’s joint heirs would “become sharers in divine na- ture.” Additionally, in the Septuagint translation, the Greek word the·os is the usual equivalent of the Hebrew words ren- dered “God,” el and elo·him, which are thought to convey the basic meaning “Mighty One; Strong One.” These Hebrew words are used with reference to the al- mighty God, other gods, and humans❤

@@jamesarnette1394don't give up
I gave up a long time ago. It is only in the last two decades that I have finally completely woken up. I Now understand that Christianity is just another form of Mythology and even the Old Testament reads like a Greek myth. And in fact a lot of it did come from Greek thought as well as Mesopotamia and other places, any place except palestine.
@@jamesarnette1394The old testament Hebrew Bible was written before the belief in Greek mythology. Please consider this as well. God has not given up on you my friend.
Greek mythology began in the late Bronze Age, something like 1100 BCE. It was about that same time that the mythology of Troy began as well. The books that were written by who we call Homer were written around 800 BCE but described supposed events that were late Bronze Age time period. The times lineup perfectly. I don't know what you're talking about.
Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life: No one comes to the Father, except through Him.
No one comes to him unless the father draws them to him. He is one.
@@jameskerrigan2997Is that a predestination thing?
@@wataboutya9310 God fills up eternity, he lives out side of time and in it. It was always known who was going to be this or that. Everyone has a choice,but God knows what you will choose so he makes your choice easier. If you're going to choose to not love him he will harden your heart like pharoh for his purposes. But those that love him he will call.
My 5 year old son and I are awaiting this video. He loves watching and learning with the Bible Project videos! We’ve made it a daily routine. For the past couple years.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing John!
That's awesome
Wow that's wonderful. Starting at a young age to know the Bible really well
God bless you John, fatherhood isn't easy, therefore I praise God that you make the time to know Him with your son :)
@@bibleproject John😂😂
Don’t forget the Holy Spirit.
Its funny, ok so John when he is writing his gospel, probably has some knowledge of the Holy Spirit as his gospel was penned late in the first century. So John when he says the Word was with God and God, he probably does have some thought of the H S as being divine too. Since he was around at Pentecost. , there is just so much to consider when examining John's gospel and I truly wish scripture spike more about the Holy Spirit.
@@ericday4505the holy Spirit is God dwelling in us.
Jesus Christ is the fullness of God manifested in flesh. Aka, God dwelling in a human body to make himself known to us. Because he told Moses that no man can see him and live, that means his original form cannot be expressed to us on sinful earth. But the glorious thing is that he chooses to meet us as Jesus Christ, which is the name of God the father, the son and the holy Spirit (think of these as various offices occupied by the same God) like how a man can be Uncle, Brother, Father.

Me, too!

Live the life that is true to you. How is it one seeks others to fulfill you? Enlil aka jesus has many challenges before him. Soon what is shalt be revealed.
Same. I have been trying to witness a friend of mine who is Mormon. One day I asked him his thoughts about God. He gave the Mormon answer and I used multiple verses from John.
@@seekerknowledge8640 You are sadly mistaken. Jesus is not Enlil. Have you not read John's gospel?
Best book ever! It gives so much revelation about God through our lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus is our salvation
True, because Jesus gave John the Most Revelation. Each Apostle was given what they were gifted with.
Each member of the Kingdom is unique, it's cool
God, Jesus is our glory,peace, and salvation
I'm a Buddhist and saved by Jesus. Thank you for the videos. It made my Bible study so much more alive and easily connected. God bless!
So, you are a Christian. Understand you cannot be saved by Jesus and Buddhist. You must submit to Jesus.
I am an ex-- unbeliever
I have repented to God for my sins and accepted Jesus into my heart
As Savior
Is there anything that you learned in Buddism that can aid you in your walk with God? Just curious.
God bless you brother! ✝️🙏❤️
@@ThePerpetualStudent NO!! Only the King James Version (KJV) of the Holy Bible can lead you to the one true God!
Let's consider the significance of speech. God could have nodded, or blinked, or motioned with his hand, but instead he is described as speaking. Words express the mind, will, and character of a person. Words reveal identity. We can observe much about a person based on what we see, but we can’t begin to know them personally until they speak to us. When God created the universe, he spoke it into existence. “The Word became flesh” (John 1:14). Creation begins with God speaking, and then a new creation begins when this speaking “Word” of God becomes a human being in the flesh, the living and active person of Jesus. As John says, “In him was life, and that life was the light of humanity” (John 1:4).

HALLELUJAH!!!!
To know God you must first become selfless "deny yourself" egoless or die to the self only then can the Holy Spirit of Truth enter into you. Then you will witness Truth and will despair for humanity who are not just blind to Truth humanity is dead to Truth. The "self" (ego) cannot experience Truth.
All humanity must rise from death into Life to Live. This is the first death and resurrection. Churchianity continues to teach the Bible literally and so Christians never experience their bodies "full of light" (Life / resurrection) and they never see the Holy Spirit.
Everyone has the Spirit of this world (ego).
Only God's anointed receive the Spirit of Truth then humanity ridicules, mocks, despises and condemns them "believing they are doing God's will". The ego (all 7 billion) cannot be experience Truth.
People really need to understand what it means to surrender the "self" to God.
Really you must die to Live.
Peace be with you.
PS: Every word of the Bible is about YOU and no one else. It's your story. Your guide.
Thrilled.
Who is the voiceover reading the bible? Would love to just listen in that voice.
I think i have mentioned this before but do you have any plans on covering the first book of Maccabees?
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
- Book of Revelation.
That's actually really beautiful, to view the Bible as more than a book, more than a guide, but rather as an invitation to learn about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and to develop this relationship that cannot end. Truly beautiful!
@5.10 The Greek original doesn't say "the one and only God, which is in the bosom of the Father", it says "the only begotten son, which is in the bosom of the Father".
So stop with that blasphemy! God doesn't sleep, doesn't die, doesn't eat, doesn't go to the toilet etc. but Jesus did ;)!

I don't get why people dislike these videos. People need to learn about god and worship jesus.
I love the beginning of the Gospel of John. I feel it is the best genealogy of Jesus. Thank you for all you do Bible Project!
Thanks for watching!
Haha. For me the poetry is very difficult and discouraging but we must endure to the end so i keep my faith. ❤
if you look at the gospel of John in a historical context it would actually be one of the worst genealogies of Jesus and the gospel of mark would be the best due to mark being written around 30 years after Jesus death which means mark can recall directly what Jesus did however John was told through oral tradition and was written around 90-110 AD and mark and Luke are vastly different as it is highly possible that alot was lost through these hundred years of oral tradition
I'm crying. Such a beautiful gift from God.
He's only son, The greatest gift.
I really like the otherworldly sound of John in this video. It’s like pointing to his sanctification, and how he’s been divinely inspired by God the Holy Spirit to write about and to remember Jesus Christ, in such a powerful way! 😭😄🥳
Couldn't have said it better! 🙏🏻
I used to believe these stories when I was a little child.
@@JamesRichardWiley What changed for you to not believe anymore?
That sounds like a Positive..
As GOD does exist,is tender, merciful,etc etc& you can of course talk to Him.And thats the the Best&Easiest way to proceed. You don't need any intermediaries or performances etc - & in fact even if well meaning cannot improve on a 1 :1 Relationship. His Agenda is to liberate you, inform you,look after you , defend you & ! introduce you to the Mighty Kingdom of Heaven where where all good things are ratified- & with EternalLife ( with a capital L! )amongst the 'fringe benefits' so to speak.!.."Out of sight,far from view, Beyond the reach of a Nightmare (=Fallen Earth ) come true" as has been said .However even this will be sorted too as/when the Lord sees fit since He created it-Immeasurably better than as now , Sin corroded as it presently is: He said the Meek shall Inherit the Earth( as well as the Kingdom!) so another 'plus'...Altho' He can talk to- Anyone(He did to thousands in Palestine as Gospels confirm) He tends to communicate pro tem even more directly[you will not - never- be neglected so attend to what happens when you Communicate!]Meantime 'Save the Planet 'sentiment continues to (wilfully!) ignore He Who Can!...
man these really help me get into the mood of praying and reading the bible after dry patches, thanks for these!

@@filipolorenzo7910 The word was "a god" as supported by several translations. The word means he is Gods spokesman
Poetry and parable
Not lying & killing
But loving & living
Not physical but spirit
"...to know and be known by the Father and the Son. Who together are the one God." Don't forget the Holy Spirit! He is the one God too.
This passage was geared to Jewish people since it talks of the Torah and has that ending of the cliff-hanger sentence. G-d really did come to John to create this. It's physical perfection.
BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED!!!
Jesus is the Son of God and is God Himself !!
So, God had sex with himself and gave birth to himself so that he could become human and have himself killed to please himself as payment for Mankind's sins and so those who accept him are without sin. Did I get any of that right? I'm wondering how some deity can set everything up so that the deity becomes a person who's killed to make peace with the deity. Sounds pretty circular to me and it does not make sense no matter how much you apologized for it.
@@jamesarnette1394 The reason it does not make sense to you is because you’re looking at the incarnation of God as Jesus Christ purely through a human, limited lens.
In the Old Testament, God actually shows up on earth as man, both to Abraham and Jacob in Genesis, to Gideon and Manoah in Judges and in many other books.
In the New Testament, God doesn’t just want to appear on earth as a man, but also live a full life as all human beings who ever existed does and so He chooses to be born through a woman. God does not procreate nor is He dependant upon a mate to create human beings, so when He chooses to enter creation as a human being Himself, He can do so as He pleases.
The Mary was obedient to the Heavenly Father and gave birth to the body of His eternal Son by power of the Holy Spirit who is Lord and giver of Life.
@@eniolaelisery1503 beautiful a beautiful little fairy tale. Do you have a version with illustrations? I'd like to see the full book please. I seem to miss out on your source of infinite knowledge, so I apologize for being an idiot and for not understanding things that are purely stupid.

Jesus said man can not live on bread alone... Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life, yet still told us to be submitted to "every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"
I just love this interpretation with these two great men of God and the forces that help them do the work of the Almighty God! You can feel their love through this recording…all I can do is smile and be grateful that we have the same Eternal Father!
Watched this right before bed and felt so much comfort 😌
I wouldn't leave out the Holy Spirit and His role as explained by Jesus at the Last Supper (John 13-17).
I was Literally thinking about this an hour ago. If God’s words turned darkness into light, our words turn darkness into light!!! The power of our words can shape our experience on this earth. Just think if people spoke only kindness and love what would our life’s look like? I really think something is behind this!! God is good!!!
@Artur ok well you have a strong opinion. I disagree with you and there are many examples in the Bible that your words have power. I can obviously see John was showing us that our words can help us if they line up with what God stands for. You speak hate anger, jealousy, gossip. You bring darkness. Speak love, faith, hope, positive things you bring light. I also believe that we have the Holy Spirit in us and we do have the power to get rid of darkness. Jesus said truly if you have faith as big as a mustard seed you can truly tell a mountain to move and it will. I stand behind my comment and believe you are wrong. God bless
@@queen_sophie7515
The Bible goes into plenty of detail about the impact of words and what they reveal about our character. In that sense, Artur is right; you don’t need to theorize or say “I believe” because the Bible already talks about it in many places. Make a study of that topic!
The concern Artur has is that part of what you’re saying sounds like Word of Faith teachings, which are heresy. There is a difference between human speech and how God speaks. God can bring things into existence because he is eternal; he fills all of time and space so when he speaks, his words also fill time and space.
But we are mortal and finite. Our words live and die with us, and we can only speak about what God has already created. As fallen beings, our words no longer fully align with the truth either. Which is why we look to what God says in his Word rather than ourselves. Our words do matter and can help or hurt people in the way people perceive them, but they can’t alter reality or creation or time or space like God can. That’s a difference you will need to acknowledge if you don’t already.
Positive words, love in action, Wisdom can be shown conquering sin in many examples. My favorite.
1 Samuel 25:32-34 (KJV) 32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: 33 And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 34 For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
After Nabal’s death, David married the Wise Abigail. Her Love of Right conquered the wrath of man.
@@Window4503 Well I disagree. I believe our word bring positive or negative things in our lives. I believe that God is the Alpha and Omega the first and the last and I believe he is in our hearts. We do have the power to get rid of darkness in our lives. I have read the whole Bible and have studied it. Some things are known to others that are not understood by all. Sorry you can’t see what I am saying and that is very clearly laid out in the passage. Maybe one day God will open your eyes to the power we have in ourselves to help us and others. All it takes is a little Faith. God bless.
@Artur I don’t get what you disagree with? That our words call darkness or light? This passage that is in the video is about my comment. It is the example. I understand that sometimes God let’s you understand a verse deeper then just the surface. I understand that you don’t agree maybe you don’t understand because God thinks your not there spiritually yet. That why Jesus spoke in parables because some will understand but not all will. People read a verse and get 20 different teaching out of that one verse. Not one is wrong because it is a revelation from God. It just depends on how close to God you are. I am not here to debate what every verse is about. I believe one thing you believe another. Not everyone that reads the Bible comes to the same conclusion. That’s why there are so many religions out there on one Bible. I know in my heart what God is teaching me from this verse. You just have to understand what God is teaching you from this verse. There is no right and wrong as long as it is done with love. God bless
"A person's words embodies their thoughts...." The hook line for me in this video.
it’s much deeper...The Word is the Holy Spirit. He needs to be mentioned in this. He’s the MVP of Christ’s whole story
Amen!!
God's words are so powerful.
These videos are my bedtime stories, that tells me that God has never left humanity He will always be here and love unconditionally!
This works as a great introduction for those struggling with understanding the Trinity, and especially the relation of the Father to the Son.
The only truth doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ. God himself!
Consider giving to this beautiful ministry! For the honor of God.

Man, the image and sound of the son in the father’s lap on the throne… that was a powerful image of the Father’s love for His Son and the Son’s love for His Father, to me at least. Made me tear up.
Great work, as usual, with a twist that reveals the intricate pattern of Scripture. You two breathe life into the Testaments like nobody else, and your animations and sound effects are a real pleasure. Thank you, and God bless you all!
Thank you Greg! That means so much to us.
Lord only say the Word and we shall be healed
Got introduced to these videos by an Old Testament professor at university. SO helpful and accessible! Thank you!
We're so glad they're helpful to you!
I’m Western Rite Orthodox, and we say this Gospel passage at the end of every Mass.
This is so cool when realize Jesus was there in the beginning 🤩🤩🤩 that’s awesome 💯🙌🏿
Jesus wasn't there in the beginning...the Word was. "...and, the Word BECAME flesh." Jesus wasn't Jesus until He was born/conceived.
@@sassiebrat John 1:1 clearly says that the is Jesus. Jesus pre existed before his human birth. The word was with God, so that implies that something was there. In verse 2 of John it gives a strong hint by saying "HE" existed in the beginning with God and nothing was created except through him. Meaning that if Jesus speaks he gives life by his WORD. John 1:1-13 explains everything about his pre-existence and him being the word. 💯🙏🏿
@@emmanuelaboagye434...John tells us that the Word BECAME flesh. If you BECOME something, then you are not that thing until you BECOME it. If Jesus was always Jesus, what happened to His body while Mary was giving birth to baby Jesus? Were there two Jesuses? I don't think so.
Hallelujah!! Glory to Our Almighty God Father, and to Our Lord Jesus(Yeshua), and the Holy Spirit 👑✝️🕊️AMEN!
-GOD BLESS YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST ❣️🙏
What a Beautiful and Mind blowing YHWH we have here in JESUS. Since I born again from the Spirit, nothing is as usual. Amen.
I’m about to watch ur video on the book of Isaiah ur channel helps me understand the Bible so much more
We're so glad to hear that!
@@bibleproject it’s so true y’all have helped me so much!! I’ve been going through a hard time in my life and y’all have helped me know that God is still there for me ❤️
Father, make me wiser today than I was yesterday. Amen
Thank you Bible Project for these videos, the child in me (still) understands things better with pictures than only words.
I love this so much. Its neither trinity or non trinity, its just truth! Truth that everyone can understand. God bless!
Beautiful! The Gospel according to John has always been my favorite telling of the 4 because of how John expresses Jesus in relation to the cosmic origin and how it mirrors Genesis 1. Great job as always guys!
I love John. I will be teaching the book of John for the first time in a senior's residence in which I live. The Holy Spirit is leading me with the help of my anointed pastor to start with this book. I said Lord here I am. Guide me and let the Holy Spirit speak to me. Many of the residents claim they know God, but I want to help them understand with the help of the Holy Spirit that it is not about knowing God, but learning how to have a Spiritual Relationship with Him. The Bible Project is the perfect start. This will enable them to see for themselves and have some type of understanding. Of Course! The Bible is also a must. Thank You Bible Project. Blessings! to all. Amen
Well done. Thanks for your work throughout this project. I would add that, as John no doubt knew, the ancient Israelites referred to what we call the Ten Commandments, as the Ten Words. In Jesus, God now speaks one final Word to all creation not just one family or tribe. This final Word is not written, but comes to us in the one both truly human and fully God. This Jesus is God’s final Word. Let those who have ears, listen and hear. Grace to all…
WOOW it all makes sense. Jesus literally dwelling with us & us in Him
That was beautiful guys! I have never thought of Johns dual ways of looking and defining Jesus as you have illustrated and talked about on your podcast. Thank You!!
Amos 5:7-8
O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth! Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
Amos 5:10
They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth.
Amos 5:13-14
Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time, for it is an evil time. Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
Proverbs 5:1-8
My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house.
Proverbs 5:20-23
Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.
Job 36:12
But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
Matthew 25:46
And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
John 5:29
and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
Daniel 12:2-3
And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Matthew 13:43
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. 🙏🏼
HALLELULJAH
Blessed be
I love how you teach other people through the word of God I am 13 years old and this is really helpful love the Bible project ❣️❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you I love how you see the patterns throughout the entire Bible and bring them to light to all who are willing to see. God bless all of you at the Bible project
Such a beautiful work. Thanking Jesus for the gift He has given you and me.
you need to do this for the whole book of John its so amazing i love it so much!!!
the tabernacle point was next LEVEL!!!!!!! god dwells with his people through the tabernacle, they could get to God.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son (Jesus), which is in the bosom of the Father (JEHOVAH), has made him known. John 14:31 Jesus said: But for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has commanded me to do. 24 Whoever does not love me does not observe my words. The word that you are hearing is NOT MINE, but belongs to the Father (JEHOVAH) WHO SENT ME.
The original manuscripts says no one has seen God at any time, THE ONLY GOD, who is in the bosom of the Father has made him known. Jehovah is The Father, The Son, and The Spirit. Everytime people had a visual encounter with God in the Old Testament, they saw pre incarnate Jesus. Jesus is God, the fullness of deity dwells in him. Keep your bad jw theology out out true Christian content. Look into watchtower organization and question their authority, they're feeding you lies. Ask for Jesus to set you free
@@SamC_182 Jesus was called a mighty God but not his God and Father.
Acts 4:30 Peter and John:
while you stretch out your hand for healing and while signs and wonders occur through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
Acts 4:27
For truly both Herod and Pontius Pilate with men of the nations and with peoples of Israel were gathered together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
@@SamC_182 he even said that those who ignore his God and Father dont truly loves him in John 14:24
Anytime the truth about Jesus is uttered, demons make themselves manifest to lead men astray. Get out of here.
Revelation 3:12 (KJV) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
Overcome what, the world, so satan?
1 Corinthians 5:5 (KJV)
To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
A ( stone ) pillar in the Temple of His God. He shall go no more out( rushing to and fro )
He shall ✍️ Yah upon you.
A return of the backslide Daughter is in ( COMPASS ), Com- together, Passus- in step or pace with Ruach( Woman ).
Jeremiah 31:22 (KJV) How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
Rev 12. Is a group( no church ), assembly, of peoples walking in pace with the Woman. Who is She Nicodemus, and how, as a grown man, would you be, born again?
Thank you for this !! I'm trying to get more into the Lord and his guidance but was having troubles with fully understanding the bible and this was such a opening of help!! God is good 🙏🏽✝️🤍
Jesus is the tabernacle so that is why we should ABIDE IN HIM😱😱😱😱 mind blownnn
God be with you
I love your videos guys, I can feel the Holy Spirit in your videos.
WOW! Pure gold in 6:42 minutes!
Beautiful
If you Deny the Son, you Deny the Father! JESUS is the Begotten Son of the Father. Who sits in the right hand of the Father. Thank you Father for your Grace. Amen!
Wow, haven't watched the video but what a beautiful moment of synchronicity gifted from God. My Youth just started learning about fasting yesterday. We are finally able to go back into Church this Sunday so we decided to Fast together until we meet again and break our fast at our after service morning tea. Each day of our fast we read a chapter of the book of John and here you've posted a video about the first chapter!! What a gift, thank you Bible Project ❤️ Love from Australia 🇦🇺
love y'all praise Father Son and Holy Spirit
AMAZING! God bless you guys for this powerful message.
this channel makes it so much easier to understand
Guys, I really love you!!! Only God can reward you all. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
I love the way you guys share the Gospel. Every story belongs to Jesus from O.T to N.T.
This is crazy creative ! Thank God for such creativeness to explain his Good Word 🙌🏽
Thanks so much Tim & Jon for sharing the beauty & power of these few words. I am so blessed, we all are blessed! Praise ha-yhwh!
Every time I read John 1:18 in Greek, I always translate the last phrase as "He has made [Him] known." I've never questioned why I had to insert the pronoun to complete the sentence, and neither have I thought that John intentionally left it incomplete. Thanks for this! This makes a whole lot of sense to me now.
God is Omnipresent,God is in the entire Universe and in each of His children, but not all of you feel His closeness, the presence of your God.....................
God has His Sanctuary in your heart, He has given you the key so that you can open it, but this must be born of your own will, that is the duty that corresponds to us.
Be blessed 🙏🏾
Jesus is true God and true man; fully God and fully man.
