The Fullness of God in Jesus Christ !



                      Colossians 2:9 (New International Version)
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,


The Gospel of John emphasizes that ....."In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God and the Word became flesh (in Jesus Christ) and dwelt among us.  Thus God sent Jesus to effect our redemption  and give us a model of what he is.  God's power and glory was more than Moses could handle, so God sent and Angel to represent what He would say in the burning bush.  God did not do away with His divinity to become a man, Jesus. He chose not to use that divinity to avoid the horrible experience on the Cross.
                                               
                       Ephesisans 3:18-19(NewInternational Version)
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
 
God established us as creations in His image.  He rooted us in Love for His essence is love and His son brought a new love "agape" to a world in need of healing and compassion.  The law showed no compassion nor any love for God's creation....people. The law only serves to show man of his sins but has no saving grace of it's own.
 
 
Therefore, with all diligence, we should pursue the fullness of Christ in our lives.
In Him encompasses the key to a life of peace and fullness.  He promised that if we abide in Him, He would abide with us.  May it be so.
 
 
 
from fraility to faith
 
It’s a faith in the works.
One being defined
And refined…
Daily.

Faith...It’s a gift for the taking.
One in the making
Until His return.
Let us glean from His World…

Learn
From those who wrote from their heart…
Special God breathed lessons:
A hope in history
A healing by hearing.
A happening through humility
A manuscript for living…from the Master.

It's a treasure…of the largest measure.
A revelation of righteousness
A believing…not by seeing.
It's a forging in the fire..a release from the mire.
An overcoming in obedience.
A promise…
of possibility
Amen...Amen
