The First Born part 3

 Philippians 2:6-8 NASB95 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 2 Corinthians 5:18 NASB95 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, Romans 5:10 NASB95 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 1 John 4:10 NASB95 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. OAK HILL BAPTIST CHURCH The First-Born part 3 Pastor Tyson Bloor - Sunday Morning 8/22/21 Prison Epistles / Colossians 1:15-20 The Totality of Jesus Christ Colossians 1:18-20 NASB95 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. Colossians 3:15 NASB95 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Ephesians 4:4 NASB95 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; Ephesians 4:16 NASB95 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. Ephesians 5:23 NASB95 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. Colossians 3:10 NASB95 and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him- Ephesians 4:24 NASB95 and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. 2 Corinthians 5:17 NASB95 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 1 John 3:2 NASB95 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. John 1:1 NASB95 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1 Corinthians 15:21 NASB95 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 NASB95 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. Romans 6:5 NASB95 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, Hebrews 2:8 NASB95 YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET." For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. Philippians 2:9-11 NASB95 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
