“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation” (Colossians 1:15).
Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creation, and by Christ God created all things. The Word of God is before all things, and through the Word God created all things both visible and invisible (see Colossians 1:15-17).
The Word of God is He that precedes all creation, as it is written: “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). Before there was light, God said, “Let there be light.”
God spoke the Word before the light manifested. And that spoken Word of God is the firstborn of God. It is through the Word the Spirit of God expresses Himself. The Word is the one that created.
God is a Spirit, no one has seen God, and no one will ever see God (see 1 Timothy 6:16). It is by the Word and through the Word alone we come to God. The Word is the only begotten Son of God, which is Jesus Christ.
When Scripture says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). That Creator is the Word. John wrote, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
The Word of God is the Creator. And where is that Word the Creator? God gave the same Word to us through the Bible. The God that spoke in the beginning at creation is also the God that spoke all Scripture (see 2 Timothy 3:16).
It is the Word of God that creates. The Word spoken by God created all things, as it is written: “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth” (Psalm 33:6).
God wants us to listen to the Scripture. Jesus says, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 3:22). And what did the Spirit says? All Scripture is what the Spirit says (2 Peter 1:20-21).
Scripture says that the Word was made flesh. The Scripture we read in the Bible, which is the Word of God, was made a human being (see John 1:14). He came in flesh and blood and was brought up in Nazareth.
The Word is the only begotten Son of God, and through Him God created all things. Scripture is that Word of God which precedes all creation of God, and that Word is Jesus Christ (see Revelation 19:13).
God created in the beginning by Christ, and at the end God shall create again by Christ. “Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful” (Revelation 21:5).
The Firstborn is the Word of God that is sitting on the throne, which is Jesus Christ. Did you know that Jesus is the name of the Word of God? God gave Him the name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow (see Philippians 2:9-11).
