  4  “The Word gave life to everything that was created  His life brought light to everyone”.  “In the beginning The Word was with God and The Word is God. Life exists so that you can co-exist with God’s creation. Think of it as being in the garden of Eden, after the Fall.  You walk and talk with God, as Adam did. You have dominion over birds, fish, land and created things, as Adam did. God created the heavens and all things to bless you, as He did for Adam.
