*FULLNESS OF LIFE IN CHRIST*
_For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power_ :
Colossians 2:9-10(KJV)
The fullness of the Godhead gives its complete expression of the divine nature in Christ. Since Jesus is the exact image of God and His fullness dwells in Him (Col 1:15), this should trump everything. Many things try to dethrone Jesus, one of the most subtle ways is through ideas, traditions and philosophies that are seemingly harmless. However we must evaluate in light of what is revealed about God through Christ. Paul faced this issue regularly and this was his remedy in (2Cor. 10:5). Secondly, *we also have been brought into the fullness in Christ.* The scripture speaking and said And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and reach full spiritual stature] (Colossians 1:10Amp) This is an amazing statement; it almost seems impossible. We are made full in Christ; filled with Him living in us and we will continue to experience this saturation. Paul said this was one of the glorious mystery revealed which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27) If we have been given completeness and fullness in Christ then philosophies and traditions that are counter to this should have no power to deceive. Lastly, Christ is the head over every power and authority ( Matt 28:18-20); why not let the source of life dictate worldviews.
Jesus said, If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free (John 8:31 -32).To be free you have to know and remain in the truth. This comes through the transformation of renewing your mind to God’s word and knowing His will concerning you. Paul gives the key to figuring this out in (Rom 12:1-2). Beloved, *we need to be thankful to God that we know this amazing truth; I have been given fullness in Christ.*
I pray that these issues penetrate your thoughts so you think deeply about them. I hope it helps to both priorities what you face today as well as encourages you to continue in Christ, built on His foundation and strengthened in faith (Col 2:6-7). Shalom!!!
*SHALL WE PRAY* Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for the privilege to be brought into your Fullness.
