For in Christ all the fullness of the deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have
been brought to fullness.
Colossians chapter 2 verses 9 and 10 You have been brought to fullness.
Not you will be, not you're on your way to, you have been, past tense, done.
So what does that actually mean?
It means that when God looks at you, he doesn't see someone incomplete.
He sees someone who has been brought into the fullness of Christ.
You have everything you need because you have him, his peace, his joy, his wisdom, his strength.
Not just a portion, the fullness of the Godhead lives in Christ and you are in Christ.
That means fullness is not your finishing line, it's your starting point.
The completeness of Christ is not a destination that you someday arrive at, it's in you today,
on the journey, in the circumstance, in the season of life you're in, at the level of
spiritual maturity you're at right now.
Okay, so if you're already full, then what is the point of growing?
Why keep learning?
Why keep pressing in?
Why keep showing up in this community and watching these daily truths, right?
Because growth in the kingdom is not about adding to what's missing.
It's about discovering what's already there.
Think of it this way, everything changed the moment you came into Christ, but your
awareness of what changed is still catching up.
Sanctification is not you becoming more complete, it's you becoming more aware of the completeness
that's already yours.
Every day you wake up to a little more of what's always been true about you.
You may not feel full right now, you may feel empty, you may feel depleted and tired
and running on fumes, but the evidence of your fullness in Christ is not on your current
energy level.
What Christ finished doesn't fluctuate with how you feel on a Tuesday.
Your growth is about not earning more of him, it's about experiencing more of what you already
have in him.
