Our Holy Lord created you to serve Him,
and bring Him honor and glory.
This is eternities, occupation.
Colossians 1:15-17 NLT
15 Christ is the visible image of
the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is
supreme over all creation,
16 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.
17 He existed before anything else,
and He holds all creation together.
