Why Christ Should Come First?
No one can deny that the bible emphasizes about Jesus Christ comes first before everything. It is solely the fulfillment of Prophecies in the Old Testament. In Christian Faith, believers find Christ as the source of joy and hope. The first thing a Christian should know that we were created by Him and for Him which means Jesus comes first over all creation in heaven and on earth.
Beside everything else it’s also believed that Jesus Christ referred to Himself as the first and last. And that’s the reason why Christians believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Scripture confirms that Christ was not created—He is the Creator. He existed before time began and holds all things together. “For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible…” (Colossians 1:16-17). Likewise, Hebrews 1:10-12 affirms that He will outlast all things. This eternal aspect of Jesus reveals why He deserves first place in our hearts, homes, and decisions.
John 1:1-3 and verse 10 state that all things came into being through Him. And Jesus Himself declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). This verse underscores why Christ isn’t just a guide—He is the only way.
To put Christ first is not a burden—it is the gateway to true peace, purpose, and eternal life. And certainly, it encompasses the idea that Jesus, as the Creator, existed before all things (Colossians 1:16-17) and will outlast all things (Hebrews 1:10-12).
It is Jesus who brought into being the present creation (John 1:1-3, 10).
John 14:6 – “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
