Through Grace Comes Fullness

Colossians 2:9 informs us that in Christ, all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form. And Ephesians 3:17-19 explains why it matters: "...So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length, and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ, that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." That fullness of God doesn't include sin and God's not sin conscious. Christ dealt with sin once and for all at Calvary. God is, if anything, is "growth" conscious. He sees our empty places and He wants us to grow and mature into what is missing in us, into His fullness. We have failed to understand that everything that was against us, against Him, against Him in us; all those things again were nailed to the cross. All of the empty spaces in our lives, every place that we have tried to fill with something outside of Him, He's given us Himself. Every aspect of God is a promise to fill a space. So our true relationship with God is about fullness. It's about anointing. It's about abundance. It's about grace... and receiving the promises that can transform us and consequently change the world. Too many of us are caught in a religious trap and we need a fresh revelation of Jesus. People know too much about how church works and far too little about how God works. We need an epiphany regarding how God thinks about us; about you, how He sees you, what He wants for you. And the good that He is planning for you. See Jeremiah 29:11.
