    Fulness of Christ (1of 2)

    1 Co.4:7

    "For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?"

    We are God's elect. When God framed the worlds by his word we were there in the divine Will. (He.11:3; Ro.8:33). God sent his Son to the world in the fulness of time he was in human likeness so each one of us may see him as in a glass. He was the visible image of God so in his divine will, we were given in his Son a place. This is one aspect of his fulness coming from his Being. He is holy so in terms of his name we have a name in his Son. God," who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ," called us "that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:"(Ep.1:3-4)

    Fulness of Christ is in terms of his obedience. He was his beloved Son in whom he was pleased. His holiness his brightness of glory clothed in a form so he felt hunger and thirst as everyone one of us, "but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (He.4:15) We were of sinful flesh struggling under the law of Sin. But his perfection has had a great bearing on us past present and future. We who were condemned were justified or sanctified because of him. " For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."(He.10:14;Ro.8:1)

    His fulness is established by his resurrection, "after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"(He.10;12). In all these God revealed his grace towards us. "According to the riches of his grace;/ Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;" So we walk in faith and not by sight. It is His fulness we may see the role of the word of his power with which we are built up daily, as St Paul says, "and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."(Ac.20:32; He.1:3)'
