In the Beginning

Words are important. A friend of mine said that Christianity has its own language. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but it’s true. Words like salvation, justification, sanctification, regeneration, redemption, catholic, apostolic, penitence, confession, and many more. These words are also used in non-Christian contexts, but they have very different, specific meanings when spoken by a Christian. Part of becoming a Christian is learning the vocabulary. Jesus Christ is the Word. He is the Word that created Heaven and Earth. “In the beginning was the Word.”
