The gospel

[kenrch]

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The Word was in the beginning, not the Son, but God's Word.
Joh 1:4 In him [the Word] was life; and the life was the light of men.

Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Gen 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Luk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
The Holy Spirit came upon Mary and the Power of the Holy Spirit overshadowed her and she became pregnant with the Word that God used to create.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

A new creation had begun. This new flesh was made of God's Word not of man. Was Jesus the Word, NO! The Word was Jesus.

Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

Jesus the Word of God does not create, or even do, it is the Father who speaks the Word that creates, and performs His will through the Word that became flesh.

Luk 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Jesus the son of man (like you and I) had a choice, a will of His own. He could do the will of the Father, or do His will and bow out, Jesus as the son of man had His own spirit; but He also had the Spirit of Truth to guide Him, no other human had the Spirit of God dwelling in them, the sacrifice for sin had not been paid. The day of Pentecost could not be fulfilled until sin had been abolished. The Holy Spirit had not been poured upon all flesh. Only through the sacrifice of Jesus was God's plan of His New Creation going to be completed…the family of the Father, Jesus being the first born.

Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Jesus fulfilled the law of the sacrifice for sins, He completed the will of the Father. All who accept that sacrifice were made clean having their sins paid for thus allowing God's plan of the new creation…the family of the Father to continue.

After Jesus' resurrection a new kingdom formed those born again not of flesh but of the Spirit of the Father.

Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Jesus bought us by our will to accept His sacrifice. We belong to Jesus, He is the head of the body the new kingdom. Therefore Jesus is God of this kingdom that He paid for:

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
“Above thy fellows” above His brethren; the children of God.

Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

The Father anointed Jesus~God~ of this new creation the kingdom for which He paid.

But this is not the end. Their is even a happier ending!

1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom [His kingdom] to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

This to me puts a whole new meaning to “honor thy Father”.

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

THE BEGINNING! AMEN!

IHN&L,
