Colossians 3:1

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

What this passage establishes

The risen Christ’s right-hand position calls believers to seek the realities of His reign.

Why it matters in the argument

Biblical right-hand language regularly describes power, victory, favor, and royal authority. It should not be flattened into a literal picture of two divine bodies seated side by side.

Apostolic connection

Jesus is the exalted man and visible Lamb in relation to the invisible God, yet Revelation’s final vision has one throne, one face, and one name.

Common misunderstanding

A vision can distinguish God’s glory from the glorified Son without teaching two Gods or two coequal divine thrones.

How to use it in conversation

Open with a New Testament exaltation text, establish the Old Testament idiom, then finish with Revelation’s one-throne vision.
