How do we know Christ is the image of the invisible God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the image of the invisible God, revealing God's nature and fullness to humanity.

Colossians 1:15 illustrates that Christ is the image of the invisible God, meaning that He perfectly reveals God's character and nature. Jesus said, 'If you have seen me, you have seen the Father' (John 14:9), establishing that all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him. In essence, to understand God and His attributes, one must look to Christ, as He is both fully divine and fully human. This revelation is critical for believers as it shows that knowledge of God is not abstract but is found in the person of Jesus Christ, who embodies grace and truth. Our relationship with God is mediated through this understanding of Christ as the distinct image of God, highlighting the significance of Christ in the divine plan of redemption.
