  • John 1:1—“In the Beginning Was the Word”
    Bible Verses Explained
    • “The beginning” refers to the time when God began his creative work and produced the Word. Thereafter, the Word was used by God in the creation of all other things. (John 1:2, 3) The Bible states that Jesus is “the firstborn of all creation” and that “by means of him all other things were created.”—Colossians 1:15, 16.

  • John 1:1—“In the Beginning Was the Word”
    Bible Verses Explained
    • Misconception: The Word has always existed.

      Fact: The “beginning” referred to in this verse cannot mean “the beginning” of God, because God had no beginning. Jehovahd God is “from everlasting to everlasting.” (Psalm 90:1, 2) However, the Word, Jesus Christ, did have a beginning. He is “the beginning of the creation by God.”—Revelation 3:14.
