1Sovergn – “Colossians 1:16” blends his Christian and rap sensibilities

Colossians 1:16 states, “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.” It’s important to note that Colossians 1:16 does not imply that Jesus acted alone in creation, but rather that He was involved in the process along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, as described in Genesis 1:1-3. Colossians 1:16 highlights the central role of Jesus in the creation of all things and emphasizes His preeminence over all creatures. The verse also suggests that the purpose of creation is to glorify Him.
