THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION COLLOSSIANS

 IN HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED

THE SON IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD , THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION. FOR IN HIM ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH  , VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE , WHETHER THRONES OR POWERS OR RULERS OR AUTHORITIES; ALL THINGS , AND IN HIM ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER. AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY , THE CHURCH; HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE FIRSTBORN FROM AMONG THE DEAD, SO THAT IN EVERYTHING HE MIGHT HAVE THE SUPREMACY. FOR GOD WAS PLEASED TO HAVE ALL HIS FULLNESS DWELL IN HIM , AND THROUGH HIM TO RECONCILE TO HIMSELF ALL THINGS,  WHETHER ON EARTH  OR THINGS IN HEAVEN, BY MAKING PEACE THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD ON THE CROSS. ONCE YOU WERE ALIENATED FROM GOD AND WERE ENEMIES IN YOUR MINDS BECAUSE OF YOUR EVIL BEHAVIOR. BUT NOW HE HAS RECONCILED YOU BY CHRIST'S PHYSICAL BODY THROUGH  DEATH TO PRESENT YOU  HOLY IN HIS SIGHT , WITHOUT BLEMISH AND FREE FROM ACCUSATION -IF YOU CONTINUE IN FAITH , ESTABLISHED AND FIRM , AND DO NOT MOVE FROM THE HOPE HELD OUT IN THE GOSPEL. GOD IS ABLE! YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS BUT FAIL.

THE LORD IS LOOKING FOR A CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR BLEMISH. WE PARTAKE IN THE FULLNESS OF HIS, LOVE, SPIRIT, GRACE AND MERCY. WE RECEIVED HIS PEACE THROUGH HIS REDEMPTION ON THE CROSS. ISN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU BELIEVE AND WALK FAITHFULLY WITH HIM; YOU ARE SET FREE AND FORGIVEN. WHOM THE SON SETS FREE IS FREE INDEED.
