Yes, according to the Bible and Les Feldick's teaching, Christ is the visible manifestation of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, and the one who paid the sin debt for all humanity.
Scripture and Les's teaching show that Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature, and the one by whom all things were created. He is the Creator God who became flesh, and His death on the cross was sufficient to pay the penalty for every human being because He is the God of glory.
Colossians 1:15 — This verse directly answers the question by identifying Christ as the image of the invisible God and the firstborn of every creature.
Colossians 1:16 — This verse explicitly states that all things were created by Christ, establishing His role as Creator.
The Bible declares that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. Paul writes in Colossians 1:15, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature." This means He is the visible manifestation of the Godhead, who is otherwise invisible. Furthermore, verse 16 states, "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." Thus, Christ is the Creator of everything, both visible and invisible. Hebrews 1:3 also affirms His divine nature: "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." This verse highlights His glory, His sustaining power, and His finished work of purification for sins.
Les Feldick teaches that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He explains that the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is spirit and invisible, but out of that invisible Trinity, the Son stepped forth and took on flesh, becoming visible and tangible. This happened in the Old Testament economy temporarily and permanently in the New Testament through His birth at Bethlehem. Les emphasizes that Christ is the Creator God who has existed from eternity past and will exist to eternity future. He was the Creator in Genesis 1, and all things were created by Him and for Him. Les stresses that if Christ were anything less than the Creator and the God of glory, His death would have been insufficient. But because He is the God of glory, He could pay the sin debt for every human being from Adam to the end of time. Les also distinguishes Christ's earthly ministry before the cross, which was directed to Israel under the law, from what happened after the cross. He teaches that believers now stand on this side of the cross, and the glorious gospel of Christ is light shining on those blinded by the god of this world.
Les Feldick teaches that Christ is the Creator. He emphasizes that Christ called everything into being in Genesis 1 (Clip 1), and that Colossians 1:16 confirms that all things were created by Him (Clips 3, 7). He states, "He's the Creator. He's the sustainer of the universe" (Clip 3).
Les explains that God is invisible, but Christ is the visible appearance of the invisible God. He says, "Out of that invisible triune God stepped the Son, and He became visible" (Clip 4). He further clarifies that Christ is the "visible, tangible evidence of the invisible God" (Clip 4).
Les teaches that Christ's death was sufficient to pay the sin debt for every human being because He is the God of glory. He states, "If He'd been anything less than that, then His death would be for nothing" (Clip 6). He emphasizes that Christ, as the Creator, "could suffer the punishment, the penalty for every human being" (Clip 6).

This verse is foundational to understanding Christ's identity as the visible manifestation of the invisible God.
Colossians 1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
This verse establishes Christ as the Creator of everything, supporting the teaching that He is the God of glory.
Hebrews 1:3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
This verse further confirms Christ's divine nature and His finished work of purging sins.
According to the Bible, Christ is the image of the invisible God, meaning He is the visible manifestation of the invisible Godhead. He is not the Father, but the Son who stepped out of the invisible Trinity to become flesh.
Les Feldick teaches that if Christ were not the Creator and the God of glory, His death would be insufficient to pay the penalty for every human being. Only the Creator God could bear the full weight of sin for all humanity.
