Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
THE FIRSTBORN OVER ALL CREATION / COLOSSIANS 1:15
Paul is not saying that Christ was a created being. The term “firstborn” carries the Old Testament meaning of being “first in position,” “heir” or “supreme” (Exodus 4:22; Jeremiah 31:9) As the eternal Son of God, Christ is heir and ruler of all creation (Colossians 1:18; Hebrews 1:1-20) and is sovereign over all things (He has complete authority, control and power to do as He desires; Colossians 1:16; 2:9-10; Matthew 28:18; 1 Peter 3:22; 2 Peter 2:1; Jude 1:4).
