Col 1:15 (B) What does it mean that Jesus is the firstborn of every creature?
The firstborn of every creature in Col 1:15 means that Christ existed before every created thing, which came into being by His creative acts (CP V16-17; Jn 1:3, 10; Ro 4:17; Eph 3:9-11; He 1:1-2, 10; Rev 4:11).
Christ has always existed as an equal member of the Godhead from all eternity - He only became the Son of God at His incarnation (CP Isa 7:14; 9:6-7; 52:12 Mic 5:2; Jn 1:1-2; He 1:8-12).
