The Fullness Of God

 The syncretism and traditions of mankind do not have Christ as the focal point, and Paul was warning the Colossian believers not to adopt these basic, world philosophies of men or their legalistic laws, because they cloud the true concept of Christ, distort the biblical truth of the Lord Jesus in the mind of the believer, and they rob the Christian of a proper understanding of the wonderful sufficiency and amazing adequacy of Christ in the life of ALL believers.
 Such unwholesome thinking prevents us from having the correct biblical view of Christ which is that within Him dwells ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily. ALL the essence of the Deity inhabits the Lord Jesus in bodily form, the entire fullness of God's nature dwells bodily within CHRIST. 
 The world holds up a very different value system. Your spouse completes you, a child completes you, or even you don't need anyone or anything else as you can find completeness within yourself. But all these worldly musings are falsehoods from the father of all lies. 
 BUT the truth is laid out in the Scriptures and when you accept the truth from the Word of God, that ALL the essential essence of Deity inhabits the Lord Jesus in His bodily form, and that you have been made complete in Christ as fact, then you have the most wonderful security in God, which allows you to rest in the Lord Jesus.
 You know that in Christ ALL The Fullness Of God dwells in bodily form, and IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE. 
Colossians 2:9 For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, thank You for this wonderful truth that Christ is all we need. He is our complete sufficiency in all things, and in Christ, we have already been made complete simply because we trust His name. In Jesus' name, we Pray, AMEN.
