“In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1)
The whole Bible supports the idea that it
is the nature of God to speak, to communicate His thoughts to others.
“In the beginning was the Word” – a word is
a medium by which thoughts are expressed, and the application of the term to
the Eternal Son leads us to believe that self-expression is inherent in the
Godhead, and that God is forever seeking to speak Himself out to His creation.
It is not just that God spoke; but God is
speaking! He is by His nature continuously articulate. He fills the world with
His speaking voice.
One of the great realities with which we
have to deal is the Voice of God in His world. The briefest and only satisfying
cosmogony is this: “He spake, and it was done!” The “why” of natural law is the
living Voice of God in His creation.
This word of God which brought all worlds
into being cannot be understood to mean the Bible, for it is the expression of
the will of God spoken into the structure of all things. This word of God is
the breath of God filling the world with living potentiality. The Voice of God
is the most powerful force in nature, for all energy is here only because the
power-filled Word is being spoken!
