“For
in HIM dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are
complete in HIM, which is the head of all principality and power.”
-Colossians 2:9-10 [KJV]
What
a great and glorious message this is! All the fullness of the Godhead
dwells in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, and all who are united
in Him are complete in HIM! Christ is the fullness of all the wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification (holiness), and redemption, God
requires, and this is true of all who believe in Him, all who rest in
the blessed fact that His righteousness alone entitles them to the
whole inheritance of eternal life and final glory in Heaven.
If
all who believe in Him are complete in Him, and it is all based on
the merits of His righteousness alone, then there is nothing left for
believers to do in order to attain salvation. They have it
completely, and it will never be lost. There is nothing for believers
to do in order to be qualified, fit, or entitled to any part of
eternal life. Christ has done it all for them, and they are complete
and secure in Him.
Is
He qualified and able to attain and maintain all of this for them?
Well, in His Person dwells all the fullness of the Godhead, and His
righteousness satisfied God’s law and justice for His sheep. His
righteousness alone demands their whole salvation, from the new birth
to final glorification.
