WE’RE REPLETE WITH HIM

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).

 In our previous study, we made the very important point that being born of God, we’re as divine as the Lord Jesus is. If that weren’t true, then He failed in His mission. But blessed be God, He didn’t. He said, “...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). That life is the very life and nature of God imparted to your spirit. You’re replete with God!

 This is the reality many have never understood. They still think of Christianity from a distance, as though God merely helps us from heaven while we struggle through life as ordinary men. But that’s not the Gospel. The Gospel is that God brought you into oneness with Himself and filled you with His fullness.

 The Apostle Paul understood this revelation. That’s why, in Ephesians 3, he prayed for the Christians at Ephesus for God to grant them, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man. He wasn’t praying this for himself; he was already living in this reality. Then he culminates the prayer with something staggering: “...that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19).

 If this weren’t possible, then it wouldn’t have been 38 penned for us in the Scriptures. He wanted them filled with all the fullness of God, replete with Him. That’s your reality today in Christ Jesus. God has filled you with Himself, with His Spirit, without measure (John 3:34). You contain the maximum load of God, completely furnished to the brim with divinity.

 This is the very same thing the Bible says concerning the Lord Jesus. Colossians 1:19 says, “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell.” Then Colossians 2:9 declares, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” He carried the fullness of deity in bodily form. But guess what? The very next verse says, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power” (Colossians 2:10).

 He said in John 20:21, “...as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” God filled Jesus with Himself and sent Him into the world. He wouldn’t send you with anything less. There’s divine excellence, glory, wisdom and power in you. You have all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). Know it and live accordingly.

                                                                          PRAYER
Dear Father, I celebrate my oneness with you, and your fullness in me. I walk in the consciousness of my divine origin, nature and identity in Christ. Your wisdom, ability, excellence and glory are manifested in and through me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
