IN THE BEGINNING… WAS GOD AND JESUS
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not ANY thing made that was made.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let US make man in Our image, after OUR likeness…
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [OWN] image, in the Image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Col 1:15 [Jesus] is the IMAGE of the INVISIBLE God, the firstborn of all creation.
THE REASON JESUS WAS BORN
MAN FELL
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?Gen 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, or you will die.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, You will not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes will be opened, and you will be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife HID themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that you have done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
DESTROYING THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL
1John 3:8 He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned:
1Cor 15:20 Christ [is] risen from the dead, [and] become the first fruits of them that slept [died].
1Cor 15:21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
1Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.
Romans 6:23 …the Wages of sin is death, but the FREE GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Christ Jesus our Lord.
1John 3:5 And you know that [Jesus] was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Romans 3:22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 23 For All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:24 God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins
Romans 3:25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood.
1Peter 1:18 You were not redeemed with corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation [received] by tradition from your fathers;
1Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
John 15:13 [Jesus said] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.14 You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.

1John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we will be: but we know that, when he will appear, we will be like him; for we will see him as he is. 3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that does NOT believe on him is condemned ALREADY, because he has not believed in the NAME of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 1:12 As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
1John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
John 17:24 [Jesus said] Father, as to those whom you have given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
