The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In John's Prologue (Part 1), Steve Gregg delves into the Gospel of John to gain a deeper understanding of Jesus' life. Gregg explains that John refers to Jesus as the Word, which existed before creation and made all things. While there is no biblical evidence to support the concept of Jesus being the eternal Son of God prior to his birth in Bethlehem, the doctrine of the Trinity may imply a close relationship between the Father and the Son. Ultimately, Gregg asserts that believing in Jesus as the Word made flesh is the key to becoming children of God.
