In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1 (NIV)
One of the most foundational truths for your faith is the reason you’re here. Every worldview and religion has to answer this question. Why are we here? How did we get here?
Today’s verse is the Christian’s response to that question. According to the Bible, we’re here because of God. God was in the beginning and He created us to fellowship with Him.
So when friends and family ask you why you believe in Jesus, you can answer and say, it’s because of God. God was in the beginning. Because of Him, you have life. He is the reason we’re here and the reason why we stand up for our beliefs and the Bible. It’s all because of Him.
So today, take some time to reflect. Are you thankful for all that God has provided in your life? Are you thankful for a place to live? Are you thankful for family, friends, and the people in your life? If so, spend some time thanking God. You’re here because in the beginning He was. That’s an important truth and good to be reminded of today.
