Colossians 1: 12 giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Believing in Jesus Christ is hearing his word, doing it and becoming through change of heart and attitude, all that he is in the Father. God, the Father, knows and recognizes his son alone because he is the bearer of his image both in the flesh and in the spirit. From the very beginning of ages, the image of God is in his son, Adam was that image. Since we lost it to disbelief and disobedience to the voice of God, Christ who is the perfect image of God is making us to become so through his word that is true and life to all who belief.
It is therefore most important to know that all fulfillment and blessings in life, comes by us bearing the image of God both in the spirit and in the flesh.
