The word of God is enlightenment: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5

The gospel of John begins by teaching about the nature of the word of God; the word exists from the beginning of things, that is, the creation of the universe, and is also light and spiritual enlightenment for the soul of men. By that word that illuminates reason and that gives predictability on the path of life, like a bare tree that after winter sprouts is filled with leaves and bears fruit, so the blessed men grow in the knowledge of the invisible realities, because the word is progressive.
It is important to note that the evangelist at the beginning of his gospel, does not express that God is love, because spiritual love (Agape) is an emanation of the word, love comes from the word of God because to love something it must be known first.
And the gospel of John tells us something else, that this word and mysterious light, this uncreated wisdom, was personified, became flesh, in a very special person, the Lord Jesus, that is why Jesus introduced himself as "son of man." And this teaching has a very important particularity because the sapiential books, such as the Book of Proverbs, speak of a personification or embodiment of the illuminating wisdom, without specifically mentioning who this incarnation is, to guide men along the path of salvation and eternal life.
And so the gospel of John begins, introducing believers in Jesus to the invisible mysteries of God:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" John 1:1-5.
With this, the gospel teaches men that the Lord Jesus is the true way that makes men children of light and of God.
