A Compelling Argument for the Deity of Christ













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


Greek; John 1: 1 In the very beginning, this beginning being before there was any creation, was the Logos, and the Logos was in direct intercourse of fellowship with God, and God was the Logos.

A compelling argument for the Deity of Jesus Christ is found in John 1:1.

In grammar, a sentence is made up of the predicate and the subject. The subject of a sentence performs the action. The predicate modifies the subject. For example in the “the dog is vicious’; dog is the subject and vicious is the predicate.

In John 1:1 from the original Greek, we see that Logos is the subject. Logos is the central point of this sentence. It is the finality and the crux.  God was the Logos. The predicate of this verse or what modifies who the Logos is, is God. The Logos who performed the action in all creation is God. The Logos is Jesus Christ.
