Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.
There are fundamental truths that must first be confirmed from the Bible, so that our faith would rest securely upon inspiration alone, and not on any private interpretation. There never was a time in the distant past when the Jesus of the Bible was not in existence. Jesus wasn’t created, He did not have a beginning point, and He did not get eternal life from the Father. All of these perspectives point to one fundamental error, that is, that Jesus is a created being, which He is not.
These theories contradict the plainest passages of Scripture, and when observed closely, they seek to upend the Christian’s hope of immortal life, the very promise upon which our faith is founded. That is why, in our first verses, John sets the record straight, by declaring that eternal life is to be found in Christ, not because it was given to Him at some point in time by The Father, but because it has been His and will always be His, as a member of The God- head.
When it mentions principalities and powers, it also includes the prince of darkness, and all the angels that fell with him. In the book of Ephesians, chapter 6, they are referred to as being principalities, and powers, thus, they are also included in the profound statement which says: “All things were created by Him.”… Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
