Christ is God. Jesus asks us who do we say He is ([Mt 16:15](Matthew%2016.md#^15)) -- This is important! Christ is the *Word* from the beginning Who became flesh and dwelt among us ([Jn 1.1](John%201.md#^1), [2](John%201.md#^2), [14](John%201.md#^14)). He is *Creator*: - [Jn 1.3](John%201.md#^3) - [1 Cor 8:6](1%20Corinthians%208.md#^6) - [Eph 3:9](Ephesians%203.md#^9) - [Col 1.14](Colossians%201.md#^14), [15](Colossians%201.md#^15), [16](Colossians%201.md#^16), [17](Colossians%201.md#^17) - [Heb 1:2](Hebrews%201.md#^2) As Christ is the *Word* and *Creator* together, He *spoke* creation into existence (saying, Let there be light, etc.): - [Gen 1:3](Genesis%201.md#^3) - [Ps 33:6](Psalm%2033.md#^6), [148:5](Psalm%20148.md#^5) - [Heb 11:3](Hebrews%2011.md#^3) - [2 Pe 3:5a](2%20Peter%203.md#^5) Likewise, He *speaks* the light of the Gospel into this dark world, into our hearts, through His Word, the Bible ([2 Cor 4:6](2%20Corinthians%204.md#^6); [Ro 10:17](Romans%2010.md#^17)). That is, the Gospel light of Christ goes forth into all the nations of this spiritually dark world ([Lk 1:78](Luke%201.md#^78) - [79](Luke%201.md#^79); [Jn 1:5](John%201.md#^5); [2 Cor 4:4](2%20Corinthians%204.md#^4)). And we are made a new *creation* ([2 Cor 5:17](2%20Corinthians%205.md#^17); [Gal 6:15](Galatians%206.md#^15)) by the Word of God through the Gospel when we become saved, just as Christ spoke this creation into being. Christ Himself is the Light that shines in the darkness of this sinful, unsaved world ([Jn 8:12](John%208.md#^12); [Jn 9:5](John%209.md#^5)).
