JESUS CHRIST: CREATOR AND SUSTAINER

I am the Lord, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself (Isaiah 44:24).

. . . yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live (I Corinthians 8:6).

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made;  without him nothing was made that has been made.  (John 1:1-3).

He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born over all creation.  For by him all things were created: things in heaven and things on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created for him and by him.  He is before all things and in him all things hold together (Colossians 1:15-17).

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.  The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word . . . (Hebrews 1:1-3).

I have simply chosen to use Scripture to communicate the truth that Jesus Christ is the creator and the sustainer of the universe.  To believe that Jesus is a created being is to believe in a Jesus who is less than he is.  A faith in a false Christ is a false faith, unable to save.
