The Deity Of Christ (Chapter 1:15-23) Jesus isn’t just a great teacher—He is “the image of the invisible God,” the Creator in whom “all things hold together.” In this message we unpack Paul’s soaring Christology in Colossians 1:15–23, confront the subtle pull of Gnosticism and legalism, and see why the deity of Christ isn’t an abstract doctrine but the very heartbeat of the gospel. Only the God-Man can reconcile us by the blood of His cross, present us holy and blameless, and anchor us “stable and steadfast” in hope. We’ll explore how right belief fuels right living, how Christ perfectly reveals the Father, and how we’re being reshaped into His image as we continue in the faith.
