1. Jesus Is Called “The Beginning of the Creation of God”
In Revelation, Jesus is described as the beginning of creation.
“These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.” (Revelation 3:14, KJV)
The text shows a direct relationship between Christ and the beginning of creation.
2. Jesus Is the “Firstborn of Every Creature”
The epistle to the Colossians gives one of the most important descriptions.
“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.” (Colossians 1:15, KJV)
The term “firstborn” indicates priority and position before other created things.
3. Through Jesus All Things Were Created
The following verse explains His role in creation.
“For by him were all things created… all things were created by him, and for him.” (Colossians 1:16, KJV)
He is the agent through whom God created the universe.
4. God Made the Worlds Through the Son
Hebrews confirms this idea.
“By whom also he made the worlds.” (Hebrews 1:2, KJV)
The Son is the means of creation, not the original source.
5. Jesus Is the Word Through Whom the Universe Was Made
The Gospel of John describes the Logos.
“All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” (John 1:3, KJV)
God creates, and the Word is the instrument.
6. Jesus Existed Before the World
Christ declares His pre-human existence.
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me… with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.” (John 17:5, KJV)
This shows existence prior to human creation.
7. Wisdom Personified — A Prophetic Picture
Proverbs describes one beside God at the beginning.
“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.” (Proverbs 8:22, KJV)
Many understand this as a prophetic picture of the Son.
8. Jesus Was Appointed Heir Over All Things
“Whom he hath appointed heir of all things.” (Hebrews 1:2, KJV)
His authority is given by God.
9. All Creation Exists Through Him
“To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things… and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things.” (1 Corinthians 8:6, KJV)
The Father is the source; the Son is the means.
