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.
