Thank you. Would you explain more simply so that some not acquainted with the Gospel of John could understand it?
God has spoken with His mouth, giving instructions or commands to all creation. He said in the beginning, "Let there be light," and there was light (Genesis 1:3).
He spoke to the waters in Genesis 1:6, and what happened? They obeyed, doing what He said.
"By Yehowah's Word, the heavens were made" (Psalm 33:6).
"...He spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm" (Psalm 33:9).
God's Word includes (but is not limited to) the Law of God. These Laws, and any other Words of God, are eternal ( Psalm 119:160, Isaiah 40:8).
The Words God speaks are truth (Psalm 119:160).
And the Laws God gives grant life, for the breaking of the Law of God is sin (Romans 7:7), and sin leads to death. When we are freed from Sin, we are freed from death, thus, the Law of God is freedom, "So I will obey your Law continually, forever and ever. I will walk in liberty, for I have sought your precepts" (Psalm 119:44-45). If we are free from Sin, it means that it's power over us has been broken, and we are seeking ways that are not sinful to live in. The Law of God has been provided for us: ways for us that will not condemn us.
The Law of God is the way of righteousness as well. Because the Law of God is God's very own ways, evidenced by the fact that the righteous are those who practice righteousness (1 John 3:7) and God's Law is righteous (Psalm 119:169) and God's Law is His very own ways (Hosea 14:9). "Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yehowah's Law" (Psalm 119:1, Hosea 14:9, 1 John 3:7). And there is stern discipline for those who "leave the way" (Proverbs 15:10). We know that God disciplines His children (Hebrews 12:7).
And the Law of God is light (Psalm 119:105).
Above we confirmed that the Law of God is the following: (1) The way (2) the truth (3) the life (4) the light. Now compare what has just been confirmed to this: "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6), and "Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life'" (John 8:12, also see John 1:4).
So the both the Law of God (and also any other Words of God) and Christ Jesus are the way, the truth, the life, and the light. Funny, they are both the Law of God: "the Word (including but not limited to the Law of God) became flesh, and dwelt amongst us" (John 1:14).
They (Jesus and the Law of God) are both eternal as well; they have always existed, always will exist, still do exist, and never change.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1).
In the beginning the Word wasn't made flesh, but it was still in existence. By the Word of God everything was made (John 1:3).
Now the Word of God is God not in the sense that it is the entity that we call God, but in nature it is God. The Word of God reveals God's nature, evidenced by the fact that Christ is the Word of God made flesh, and in Phillipians 2:6 Paul says that Christ is "in very nature God".
If that's not enough...
1: Both God and God's Torah are good:
Deuteronomy 32:4,"...A God of faithfulness who does no wrong..."
If He does no wrong, He is good. And Christ said,"There is one that is good."
Also Psalm 25:8,"Good and upright is the Lord..."
Compare to Romans 7:12, "the Torah indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good."
2: Both God and His Torah are spiritual:
John 4:24,"God is spirit..."
Compare this to Romans 7:14,"For we know that the Torah is spiritual..."
3: Both God and His Torah are light:
1 John 1:5,"...God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
Compare this to Psalm 119:105,"Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path."
4: Both God and His Torah are perfect:
Matthew 5:48,"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."
Compare this to Psalm 19:7,"The Lord's Torah is perfect..."
5: Both God and His Torah have a connection to love:
1 John 4:8,"He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love."
Compare this to Romans 13:10,"...Love therefore is the fulfillment of the Torah."
6: Both God and His Torah are Holy:
1 Peter 1:16,"...it is written, 'You shall be holy; for I am holy.'"
Compare this to Romans 7:12,"Therefore the Torah indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good."
7: Both God and His Torah are eternal (try,"I am, I was, and will be."):
Genesis 21:33,"Abraham...called there on the name of the Lord, the Eternal God."
Compare this to Psalm 119:160,"All of your Words are truth. Every one of your righteous ordinances (Laws) are eternal."
8: Both God and His Torah are truth:
Psalm 31:5,"Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, O Lord, God of truth."
Compare this to Psalm 119:142,"Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness. Your Torah is truth."
9: Both God and His Torah are righteous:
Psalm 145:17,"The Lord is righteous in all his ways..."
Compare this to Psalm 119:172,"Let my tongue sing of your Word, for all your commandments are righteousness."
and Deuteronomy 4:8,"What great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this Torah, which I set before you today?"
The Word of God is God's nature, and Christ is the Word of God given a flesh form. Imagine breathing out a word, and grabbing the air that came out, and forming it into a human. That is your word made flesh. Words reveal what is in the heart, God's words reveal what is in His heart.
I hope this helps.
