Hello
@Nancy,
'For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power:
(Colossians 2:9-10)
The word '
complete' in this verse has the meaning of having been made perfect in Him. How wonderful this is, isn't it? I remember when, a long time ago now, when I saw this to be true, it had an enormous effect upon my life, in Christ. The wondrous knowledge of being accepted in the Beloved, of being complete in Him, took away all the striving and self examination, and placed my mind on Christ, and I could simply rejoice in Him.
Praise His Holy Name!
Thank you.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
