But while God's Word speaks of the humanity of Christ when upon this earth, it also speaks decidedly regarding his pre-existence. The Word existed as a divine being, even as the eternal Son of God, in union and oneness with his Father. From everlasting he was the Mediator of the covenant, the one in whom all nations of the earth, both Jews and Gentiles, if thy accepted him, were to be blessed. "The Word was with God, and the Word was God." Before men or angels were created, the Word was with God, and was God.

Selv om Guds ord taler om Kristus som menneske da han var her på jorden, taler det også tydeligt om hans forudtilværelse. Ordet eksisterede som et guddommeligt væsen, han var Guds enbårne Søn og et med sin Far. Fra evighed af, var han mellemmand for pagten, og som alle jordens folk, både jøder og hedninger, ville blive velsignet ved, hvis de tog imod ham. "Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud" (Joh 1,1). Før mennesker og engle blev skabt, var Ordet hos Gud og var Gud.
