Colossians 1:15-19 reveals four profound truths about Jesus Christ: He is God, Creator, Sustainer, and Head of the Church. As the image of the invisible God, Jesus possesses the fullness of deity and existed before creation. All things were created by Him, through Him, and for Him, meaning creation itself has embedded purpose. Christ actively holds the universe together and, as head of the Church, He is the beginning of a new humanity through His resurrection. Because of who Christ is, faith in Him isn't merely one option among many spiritual paths but the foundation of eternal life.
