Colossians 1:15
Who is the image of the invisible God. He came in order to reveal
the Father in his own person. See John 14:10 Heb 1:3. The love of
God is revealed in Christ. He was the visible representative of the
invisible God.
The firstborn of every creature. The thought is that he existed
before creation began; born of God instead of being created by the
divine fiat; born before any creature was called into existence. The
passage does not say that he was the first created, but the first-born.
He was before creation. See John 1:1.
