Who We Are In  Christ!

Part 3

We Are Complete In Jesus!

Colossians 2:10

And In Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power]. (AMP)

Have you ever desired to be complete?

We can!!!!!  We are!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!

In Jesus we have been made complete. We have achieved spiritual stature in Him by believing and receiving Him as our Savior and Lord. We have moved from eternal separation from God to eternal life in Heaven with the Lord. By Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, He paid the price for our sin. By His shed blood we have been cleansed from our sin. Our spiritual stature has been made complete. 

Now…. the work begins!

We must grow to full stature.

What is ‘full stature ‘?

Full stature in this context is…..learning and increasing in knowledge. Also the quality of your character you have developed as a result of your achievements, experiences and personal growth. A person of stature is one who has engaged the ‘law of the Spirit of life’ in Christ Jesus. 

How can we develop our stature?

This begins with understanding God’s will for your life. When you discern the plan of God for your life, you will press in and learn what He wants for your life. As you study the Word of God, you will die to self (our own way of thinking and behaving) and put on Christ. Your thinking and behavior will become Christ-like. You will develop His character, this is the ‘Fruit of the Spirit’. You will behave and respond as Jesus would in all circumstances.

This is a process…..precept upon precept. Study to show yourself a workman rightly able to divide the Word of God.

Remember…you are complete in Jesus.

You have salvation, you’re on your way to Heaven to join the saints who have gone before you.

Jesus tells us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that He has commanded us to do. And remember,  I am with you always,  to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Bless you dear ones as you grow in Godly stature.  Press in to what God has for you. Corinthians 2:9 tells us that ‘no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has in store for those that love Him’.

Let the seeds of greatness in you be released in Jesus name.

We love you and are praying for you.

Your servants in Christ.
