In summary, then, what do we find in John 1:1? In a matter of only seventeen short Greek words, John communicates the following truths: The Word is eternal—He has always existed and did not come into existence at a point in time. The Word is personal—He is not a force, but a person, and that eternally. He has always been in communion with the Father. The Word is deity—The Word is God as to His nature.
