Jesus is the Word who came forth from God before anything else existed. He came forth having been part of what God is. A human or other organism makes offspring in such a way that the offspring originally is part of the parents. Then at some point it gets given a separate existence and a life in itself. This captures what it was before any creation existed for the Son of God to be given life as an entity in Himself, before creation came into being. Then God created all things through Him. (John 1 )
