God spoke and created the heavens and the earth. In order to speak, he had to have words. His words must be a part of him and must be eternal since they existed before he created. Furthermore, all the words of God are referred to in the singular. <ref>[[Ps 119:105]] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.</ref> The Word of God is eternal like God and is also the agent by which all creation was made. John makes this clear. <ref>[[Joh 1:1]] ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [[Joh 1:2]] The same was in the beginning with God. [[Joh 1:3]] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.</ref>
