I was reading Colossians 2:9,10 today...
'For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete...'
Great verse, wonderful revelation. But my eye caught the notation for the word complete—the literal meaning of it is full. Full! Not complete as a man or woman, which is how this verse is usually interpreted, but full! Full of what?
Well, it seems obvious now that that phrase refers to v.9...we are full of what He is full of, once we are in Him. And He is filled up with all the fullness of Deity!
Sounds a lot like Ephesians 3:19:
'...and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.'
This fullness of God within us surpasses knowledge! In other words, you're not going to be able to wrap your brain around...it must be spiritually perceived and accepted as fact by faith. Your mind will fight it, bolstered by 2000 years of religion, telling you that you're nothing. Yes, you were nothing, now you're One Spirit with the Lord! Hallelujah!
Jesus told us this Himself in John 14:16-23...He, His Father and the Holy Spirit would come to live in us once our spirits die with Him and are reborn. Just who do you think that reborn Spirit is? It's all of God! All the time, in us!
Praise the Lord!
