Colossians 1:15-19 The Supremacy of the Son of God
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before 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.
The first line supports the doctrine of the trinity, "The Son is the image of the invisible God." He is the creator of all things, and all things are created for him. Every day for billions of years, the sun has been raised in the morning. This is because he is the sustains all things. Creation listens to him and obeys him. This is why that by his word he could calm the raging seas. The Father is pleased with the son, and for this reason God's fullness rests in Christ.
