John 1 in the Bible
1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that were made. 4 In him was life, and life was the light of men; 5 the light shines in darkness and the darkness have not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to testify to the light.
9 The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him. 11He came unto his own, and his own did not receive. 12 But as many as received Him, to them that believe on his name, he gave power to become children of God,13 who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said: what comes after me, went ahead of me, because before I did it already existed. 16 we all received from his fullness grace upon grace. 17 For the law were given through Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God. The only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
That mean Jesus Christ is God.

God’s name originally written in the Bible language of Hebrew was represented by 4 consonants called the Tetragrammaton. Because ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, it is not possible to know the exact pronunciation of God’s name or many other names in the Bible. However, it is common practice to translate these names into the oldest written form of a respective language. In English that would be Jehovah and Yahweh. This is what the Bible says at Psalms 83:18: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
The sanctification of God’s personal name is the first thing that Jesus taught his disciples to pray for in the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” The word “hallowed” means to regard as holy, venerated, and sacred.
Because of a superstition, many Bible translators have removed God’s name from their Bibles. This has confused many. Interestingly, the King James Bible has decided to restore God’s name to its proper place within a recent edition of their Bible. Nonetheless, Jesus actively made God’s name known and Christians follow his example. He said at John 17:6, 26: “I HAVE MANIFESTED THY NAME unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine were mine, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 26 AND I HAVE DECLARED UNTO THEM THY NAME, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
