Scriptural Confirmations # 7
7. 5. I desire you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:8). Jesus emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, wherefore God hath exalted Him and given Him a Name above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven, in earth, and under the earth (Philippians 2:7-11).
The God of faith (Philippians 3:9).
Christ, who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature, and that through Him and in Him all things were created (Colossians 1:15-16).
Christ is before all things, and all things subsist in Him, and He is the head of the body, the church (Colossians 1:17-18, 24). In Christ doth all fullness dwell, and by Him all things were reconciled to Himself (Colossians 1:18-20).
In Christ are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge (Colossians 2:3).
In Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity bodily (Colossians 2:9).
Christ sitting on the right hand of God (Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 8:1; 10:12; 12:2).
Christ is all in all (Colossians 3:11).
That they all may be in one body (Colossians 3:15).
Do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:17). That from the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; ye serve the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:24).
Christ is the head of the body (Colossians 2:19). Life is with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3).

Colossians 1:18-20
18
He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19
For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him;
20
and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
