Once we understand that John’s purpose was to introduce the readers of his gospel to Jesus Christ, establishing Who Jesus is (God in the flesh) and what He did, all with the sole aim of leading them to embrace the saving work of Christ in faith, we will be better able to understand why John introduces Jesus as “The Word” in John 1:1.
Ang nagiisang layunin ni Juan ay yakapin ng tao ang gawain ng pagliligtas ni Kristo sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya. Kung mauunawaan ito, magiging malinaw ang dahilan kung bakit ipinakilala ni Juan si Jesus sa Juan 1:1 bilang Salita ng Diyos.
