In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:1-3
"Like John 1:1–10, Colossians 1:15–20 declares that Jesus is the Creator.
It further tells us that he holds all things together (verse 17).
Paul’s purpose in writing this passage is to counter false teaching about the nature of Jesus Christ that had crept into the Colossian church. This teaching that Jesus was a created being became prevalent in the later gnostic and Arian heresies.
The fact that Jesus is the Creator who is eternally self-existent refutes this."
