Colossians 2:9,10 - "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."
In Christ is access to every believer for their completeness. I don’t
care how messed up your background was, how deep your scars are, how evil the
people were that raised you. You can be
complete (1:28)! And you can be encouraged (2:2) because in Him, in bodily form
now, is a fullness accessible to you.
Christ possesses in His being and in human form as the God-man, the entirety of the infinite being of all of
God’s attributes. The perfections of God’s nature in their entirety and
fullness are found in Christ.
He is
infinite in His knowledge, in His wisdom, in His love, in His mercy, in His
graciousness. He possesses infinitely
every single attribute that the Father
possesses. How can there not be what we need??? Sustaining
power? He’s infinitely powerful!
Mercy?? To sustain someone that
does not deserve to be sustained? He’s infinitely merciful! Infinitely faithful, loving and just! The attributes are not only infinite, they
are immutable. They cannot be changed!
He can’t love an object of His love less. If you can sin and He love you less, then you
can change Him. Can you change Him? No! He
can be less happy with you, less pleased with you, but He loves you the same
(Psalm 89:1). The essence of the glory
of the being of Christ and of God the Father is their sufficiency. There’s Someone who helps you, there’s
Someone who sustains you, there’s Someone who gives you wisdom, , there’s
Someone who gives you power, and He’s all powerful and He’s all wise. There’s
Someone who restores- there’s a Person and He’s all sufficient-
and this is His
glory.
