3. That the same Christ is the Word of God.

In the forty-fourth Psalm: &#8220;My heart hath breathed out a good Word. I tell my works to the King.&#8221; Also in the thirty-second Psalm: &#8220;By the Word of God were the heavens made fast; and all their strength by the breath of His mouth.&#8221; Also in Isaiah: &#8220;A Word completing and shortening in righteousness, because a shortened word will God make in the whole earth.&#8221; Also in the cvith Psalm: &#8220;He sent His Word, and healed them.&#8221; &#160; Moreover, in the Gospel according to John: &#8220;In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made that was made.&#160; In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.&#8221; Also in the Apocalypse: &#8220;And I saw the heaven opened, and lo, a white horse; and he who sate upon him was called Faithful and True, judging rightly and justly; and He made war. And He was covered with a garment sprinkled with blood; and His name is called the Word of God.&#8221;
