Complete in Christ!
"YE
ARE COMPLETE IN HIM"
-Colossians 2:10 [KJV]
-Colossians 2:10 [KJV]
The
believer's standing in Christ does not fluctuate with his feelings,
not even the increase or decrease of his faith or understanding or
anything else. He stands complete in Christ. God would never trust
any of His children to stand before Him at any time in their own
selves that is, in their merits or certain good frames of mind.
He knows our frame. He remembers that we are yet dust. Therefore, He
has on purpose provided for them this perfect standing in Christ
Jesus. "Ye
are complete in Him"
the Holy Ghost said, in another place, "Ye
are perfect in Christ Jesus"
(Colossians
1:28). The very nature of our God requires us to be perfect and
complete before Him at all times. He, out of necessity, therefore
provided all this for His children: a perfection, a completeness,
which can never be diminished. It is as unchanging as God Himself
(Hebrews
6:17 and
13:8).
