“The Spiritual Fullness of Jesus Christ”
So then, Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Colossians 2:6-7
The word “CHRISTLIKE” means to be like JESUS CHRIST, and to be like JESUS, you need to have the SPIRITUAL FULLNESS of JESUS CHRIST. To do that you MUST first give your HEART and LIFE to Him, and to LIVE IN HIM and FOR HIM. You MUST be ROOTED in Christ Jesus, meaning to have roots that goes DEEP into the RICHNESS of the WORD. And you MUST BUILD a STRONG FOUNDATION, which is BUILT upon the Lord Jesus Christ. It is SO IMPORTANT to be TAUGHT the Word of God, to KNOW the Word of God, to BELIEVE the Word of God, and to LIVE by the WORD of GOD.
When a TRUE BELIEVER, is STRENGTHENED in their FAITH, then they will OVERFLOW with THANKFULNESS, because they can then LIVE BY FAITH and experience the SPIRITUAL FULLNESS of JESUS CHRIST. However, the Apostle Paul gives a WARNING in verse eight: “See to it that no one takes you captive through HOLLOW and DECEPTIVE philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the BASIC PRINCIPLES of this WORLD rather than on CHRIST.” The TRUE BELIEVER will be a victim to such philosophies if they are NOT ROOTED in CHRIST, GROUNDED in the WORD of GOD, and BUILT UP in BIBLICAL TRUTHS, and if they don’t possess the SPIRITUAL FULLNESS of JESUS CHRIST. Do you possess this SPIRITUAL FULLNESS? If you are a TRUE BELIEVER, and are WEAK in you SPIRITUAL WALK with CHRIST, then you KNOW NOW what you NEED to do.
If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to GOD, through His Son JESUS CHRIST, who DIED for your REDEMPTION, then this is what you NEED to do, in order to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ. And you MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God. You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL life-style and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART. You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and LIVE in the SPIRITUAL FULLNESS of JESUS CHRIST, and spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. Do this NOW, while you STILL can. He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!! DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND!!!
