The Lord Jesus has reconciled all things to God the Father both in redemption and in judgment. He initiated the renewal of all creation by His perfect life, death, and resurrection.

Jesus Christ is special. Every bit of the fullness of God finds its permanent dwelling in Christ. He is our sufficient and steadfast Savior.

Jesus Christ is Lord of the new creation, the church. He is the firstborn of those who will be raised up from death. Because of His incarnation, perfect life, death, and resurrection, Christ occupies the chief place of authority and worship. May Jesus Christ be praised-

The Lord Jesus Christ is head of the body, the church. His sovereignty over creation extends to His new creation in the assembly of redeemed saints.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things and sustains all things. Worship Him-

Jesus Christ is Lord of creation since everything finds its origin in Him. All things are in Him, through Him, and for Him. He is the Lord, Judge, and Savior for all people.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the firstborn of all creation. He is pre-existent and preeminent over all, and He will return to earth to rule over everything.

The invisible God has revealed Himself through creation, His written Word, and ultimately through the Son. The Lord Jesus Christ reveals God the Father.

The redemption we have in Christ addresses our fallen nature, our guilt before a holy God, and our freedom from wrongdoing. Such a comprehensive salvation is ours by believing the gospel and turning away from sin.

God the Father brought believers out of darkness into the kingdom of light where Christ is king. But first He had to take away our sins.
