Listen to these verses from Scripture: For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:36) He is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things have been created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:15-16)
God created to manifest His glory. These are thoughts to ponder with purpose.
Paul states later in Colossians 1:21-23: And although you were formerly aliens and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach – if indeed you continue in the faith, firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope and of the Gospel that you have heard which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I Paul, was made a minister.
