How do we know that Jesus is the image of the invisible God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is known as the image of the invisible God because He manifests God's glory and nature to humanity.

Colossians 1:15 describes Jesus as the image of the invisible God, meaning He perfectly represents and reveals God's attributes to us. No one has seen God the Father, yet in Christ, we see the fullness of the Godhead. As John 14:9 records, Jesus tells Philip, 'He that has seen me has seen the Father.' This makes Jesus not just a messenger but the very embodiment of God’s essence, showing us how to relate to the Almighty through a personal relationship with Him.
