Based on a cross-sectional analysis of Revelation, John, Hebrews, Colossians, and 1 Timothy, the conclusion that the Logos is a pre-existent, divine person, Jesus Christ, is not merely suggested, but is textually inescapable.

Let me explain:

The argument begins with the most direct statement of identity and nature:

“In the beginning was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1

This verse establishes two critical facts: The Word is eternal and the Word is distinct in personhood but shares divinity.

This divine person is definitively named at the climactic moment of Christ’s return:

“He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” — Revelation 19:13

Jesus is explicitly named the “Word of God.” Jesus is linked to the Word across multiple apostolic authors. John introduces the concept immediately:

“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” — John 1:3

The Apostle Paul and the author of Hebrews use the identical theological framework to describe Jesus:

Colossians 1:16: “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth… All things were created through Him and for Him.”

1 Corinthians 8:6: “…one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.”

Hebrews 1:2: “…spoken to us by His Son, through whom also He made the worlds.”

Jesus is the sole, ultimate agent “through whom all things consist and were created.” Jesus of Nazareth must, therefore, be the Logos of John 1:1-3. This divine Creator is also the perfect revelation of the Father, known through the Incarnation.

“The WORD became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father…” — John 1:14

The mystery of godliness, that God appeared in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16), is explained by the Logos taking on humanity. Furthermore, He is defined by His relationship to the invisible God:

“He is the image of the invisible God…” — Colossians 1:15

“[He is] the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power…” — Hebrews 1:3

The Greek word for “express image” in Hebrews 1:3 is charaktēr, meaning an exact replica or the imprint left by a stamp or engraving tool. This confirms that the person of Jesus (the Word) is the precise, perfect, and essential representation of the invisible Father.

The evidence forms an irrefutable loop: The one who is called the Word of God (Revelation) is the one who is God (John 1:1). This same figure is the one through whom all things were created (John 1:3, Colossians 1:16, 1 Corinthians 8:6). Finally, this divine Creator became flesh (John 1:14) to reveal the exact image of God (Hebrews 1:3). The biblical testimony is unified, establishing the inescapable truth that Jesus Christ is the eternal, divine WORD (Logos).
