THE FULLNESS OF GOD "That he (God) would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is breadth, and length, and depth, and heights; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, and ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19
Our life is precious because we possess the fullness of God in matters of our own creation of life. Therefore, we should learn more about the fullness of God in being our Creator so that we can learn more about the greatness of our own immortality of life.
Learn the following truth because your life is precious.
THE REASONS FOR GOD'S FULLNESS I. We possess the fullness of God in a created way because we are the offspring of God. "God hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation: That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of of us: For in him (God) we live, and move, and have our own being (of life); as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man"s device." Acts 17:26-29
II. We possess the fullness of God in matters of our own creation and redemption of life because we are a new creature in Christ. "To wit (don't you know), that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the world of reconciliation. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed alway; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17,19
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD'S FULLNESS I. God has Divine Personage which is a Body, Soul and Spirit because Jesus (who was God manifested in the flesh) possessed a body, Soul and Spirit upon the earth. "Who (Jesus) being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person (His Personage upon the earth), and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." Hebrews 1:3
A. In this world, we possess the Personage of God in a created way because we have a body, Soul and Spirit which is made in the image and after the likeness of God. "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:23
B. In that world which is to come, we will possess the Spiritual Personage of God which will be a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit because we will become a Spiritual Person in reference to Our Own Individual Being of life. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy (the earthy man who possess a physical body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit), we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (the Spiritual Person who possesses a Spiritual Body, and an Eternal Soul and Spirit). 1 Corinthians 15:49
II. God has Divine Powers because all are things are possible with God. "With men this is impossible (to save themselves); but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
A. In this life, we have limited excess to the Divine Powers of God because we are kept by the Divine Powers of God. "Who (the Christians) are kept (protected) by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." 1 Peter 1:5
B. In that world which is to come, we will have unlimited excess to the Powers of God because it will be given unto us so that we can rule eternally over the forces of evil. "And he that overcometh (the forces of evil), and keepeth my works (my commandments) unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations; And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potters shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father." Revelation 2:26-27
III. God has Divine Nature because one of His Divine Nature is glorious. "The God of glory (the source of all glory) appeared unto our Father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran." Acts 7:2
A. In this life, we possess the glory of God in a created way because we are the offspring of God. "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man." 1 Corinthians 11:7
B. In that world which is to come, we will possess the glory of God in an unlimited way because we have been called unto His Eternal Glory. "The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you." 1 Peter 5:10
IV. God has Divine Attributes because one of His Divine Attributes is love. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
A. In this life, we possess the love of God in a created way because we are commanded to love. "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hand all the law and the prophets." Matthew 22:36-40
B. In that world which is to come, we will possess the Attributes of God in matters of Our Own Individual Being of life because we will be given a white raiment to wear for the eternities of the eternities. "Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white (having their Attributes Perfected) : for they are worthy." Revelation 3:4
THE REQUIREMENTS OF GOD'S FULLNESS I. If we want to possess the Fullness of God, we must seek the Lord our God. "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6
II. If we desire to possess the Fullness of God, we should seek the Kingdom of God. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
III. If we wish to possess the Fullness of God, we need to seek those things which are above. "If ye then be risen with Christ (by the act of baptism), seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead (to the old of sin which you once lived), and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4
THE BLESSING OF GOD'S FULLNESS I. In heaven, we in being a New Testament Christian will possess the fullness of God because we will become a partaker of the Divine Nature of God. "Whereby are given unto us many exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2 Peter 1:4
II. In heaven, we in being a new creature in Christ will possess the fullness of God because we will become a partaker of the Spiritual Nature of God. "Then cometh the end, (the end of this world), when he (Christ) shall have delivered up the kingdom (the Church) to God, even the Father; when he (Christ) shall have put down all rule, and all authority and power (of Satan). And when all things shall be subdued unto him then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him (God) that put all things under him (Christ), that God (the Spiritual Nature of God) may be all (to each Person who has been redeemed) in all" (of each Person that has been redeemed). 1 Cor. 15:24,28
