This Bible Verse Will Change How You See God Forever
I’m starting a new series called Darin’s Diary. Every Monday, I’ll be sharing something real that I’m learning about God as I dig into His Word for myself. This isn’t secondhand from pastors, mentors, or books — it’s me opening up my Bible, wrestling with what it says, and sharing how it’s changing my walk with Him.
In this first episode, I’m talking about a verse that completely reshaped the way I see God: John 1:14 — “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Growing up, I thought I understood God’s love, but when I read this verse in its original context, it hit me in a whole new way. For the first audience — both Jews and Gentiles — this was shocking. Unlike the distant gods of the Greco-Roman world, Jesus stepped down, put on flesh, and lived among us. That changes everything.
This episode is all about rediscovering God’s love in a fresh way — the kind that makes you fall in love with Him all over again. My hope is that as you watch, you’ll see that God isn’t distant, He’s close, and He cares about every detail of your life.
