The word Logos is the Greek word which is conveyed in the English as word. Words

to us are means of communication with varied meanings that are conveyed in many

ways based on

culture, education, attitudes, ect. With God words and actions are one and the same,

when he speaks , it becomes reality. God spoke and the universe came

into existence, he did not form the universe out of existing matter, he spoke and it

was so. The Universe in all its beauty and complexity and vastness beyond are

limited ability to fathom, was first in the mind of God, and

God conveyed his thoughts into words. Genesis 1:1 says that "In the beginning God

created the Heavens and the earth. The word beginning speaks of the reality of

time, time is a creation a part of the universe as real as the planets and the stars

(the scientists will tell you that). When Adam and Eve where in the garden they had

no concept of time they had no concept of a end all they knew of was the

ever-present "now". God said that in the day they eat of tree of good and evil they

will surely die.

The concept of death was beyond them since they where not prisoners of time where

one grows old decays and dies. All they had to rely on was Gods word,

unfortunately they did not trust in what God said as being true. This is the battle

that every believer faces will we trust in what God has said even when every reality

before our eyes is in contradiction to Gods spoken word. The Gospel of John

chap 1:1 says In the beginning was the word (logos) and the word(logos) was with

God and the word (logos) was God. God becomes man in the person of the the Lord

Jesus Christ. The one whom it says in the book of Hebrews spoke the worlds into

existence literally struck a tent in human flesh and became the word

incarnate . Who dies on a cross in a testimony of love (love for the Father and love

for us) written in blood (the lamb slain from the foundation of the world).

This Jesus who shows himself to be the greatest example of the life of faith, and

because of his faitfulness as the book of Phillipians says " God highly exalted him

and gave him a name that is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee

shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the

Father". Jesus being the example (the Author and Finisher of Faith) shows what God

will do to for those who trust in him though it may take the judgment of eternity to

see the results of faith.
