Sanctified, justified, reconciled Redemption…… Lit. a releasing for ransom, deliverance Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.  Acts 20:28 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 Sanctified, justified, reconciled

Why Is Jesus Preeminent In Creation? All things created in/through Him In heaven, on earth, visible, and invisible Thrones Dominions Principalities Powers All things created BY Him All things created FOR Him All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. - John 1:3 …Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession…. - Titus 2:14 He is BEFORE all things In Him all things HOLD TOGETHER

Colossians 1:18   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.

Colossians 1:21-23   And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
