by Wesley Pierce  
9/16/2011 / Bible Studies

John 1:1-2
1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2) He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:14
14) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Luke 1:30-35
30) But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.
31) You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.
32) He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
33) and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."
34) "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
35) The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.

(no other person has ever been born without having a human father)

Luke 2:30-33
30) For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31) which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
32) a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."
33) The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him.

(shortly after his birth; God the Father had already prepared knowledge of a Savior)

Luke 2:40
40) And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

(see John 3:34 below; Jesus received "the Spirit without limit")

Luke 2:46-47
46) After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47) Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.

(at age 12, already filled with wisdom from God's Spirit)

1John 1:1-2
1) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched, this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.
2) The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

(eyewitnesses, in person. The original 12 apostles observed and lived with Christ for about 3 years)

John 1:18
18) No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

Col 2:8-9
8) See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.
9) For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,

(God's Spirit, wisdom, self-control, and obedience inside a human body...the invisible God did become visible for approximately 33 years while Christ was on earth)

Heb 1:3
3) The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

John 10:30
30) I and the Father are one."

John 14:6-7
6) Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7) If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

John 12:44-45
44) Then Jesus cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.
45) When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me.

John 3:34-35
34) For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.
35) The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.

John 12:49-50
49) For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.
50) I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

Heb 2:14-15
14) Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is the devil
15) and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Rom 1:3-4
3) regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David,
4) and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

(after his crucifixion, he was seen alive again over a 40-day period by the remaining Apostles and many others as eyewitnesses. see Acts 1:3)

John 10:37-38
37) Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does.
38) But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

Col 1:18-20
18) And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
19) For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
20) and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

John 8:23-24
23) But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24) I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."

John 16:27-28
27) No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
