Jesus is God

Col. 1:15-20

 ^“15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. ¹⁶ For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. ¹⁷ And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. ¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. ¹⁹ For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, ²⁰ and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”

who am I going to live for?

As we start a new year, I think there is much to be gained in asking yourself this question:

who am I going to live for?

Let’s think about the Gospel in relation to that question: The Gospel says: you are not good enough – but God has come and made you good enough.  And because He has given His life for you – your response is to live for Him.

We see this in the New Testament:

Romans 12:1

¹ I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
