Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
Colossians 1:15-20 New Living Translation (NLT)
Have you ever seen a resume quite like this? Can we even come close to the credentials of our Lord and Savior? Well, glory to God, we don't have to because He stands before God and intercedes for us. Jesus loves us. Why? I have no idea why but He bled and died on a cross to prove it. He rose from the dead so that we could live forever with Him in God's Kingdom and He is preparing a place for all who believe and follow Him.
Yes. That's all we have to do: Believe in Him. When we truly do, He takes it from there.
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the One he has sent.” John 6:29 (NLT)
