For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,—Colossians 1:19
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.—Colossians 2:8-10
Praying this morning that none of us are deceived by the philosophies, lies and futility of life that is not according to Christ. We who are broken are made whole in Christ. We are complete in Him...accepted in the Beloved. All His spiritual resources are ours. Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount tells us, “Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.” With what are we filled? We are filled with the One who “brought us out of the land of Egypt”. The One who tells us to open our mouths wide and He will fill them. We are filled with the One that wants us to know the blessings of His gospel, the love of His Son and the knowledge of His will. We are filled with all wisdom and spiritual understanding until we come to the unity of the faith, to a perfect man...to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.—John 1:16
But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. "Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."—John 6:68-69
