Colossians 1:12-18

In this study we see Paul give a brief yet powerful declaration of the preeminence of Christ. He does this by declaring seven unique characteristics that fully display the supremacy of Jesus.It is so critical to know these characteristics. Why? When we lose sight of the preeminence of Jesus, we leave ourselves vulnerable and defenseless to the relentless attacks of the enemy.Knowing the truth of Jesus according to the word of God and living in obedience to Jesus and His word will allow us to live a godly life to the glory of the Father.

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
