Complete In Him

According to Philippians 1:6 God will finish what He begins in us. Philippians was part of my reading this morning and as I read this verse I feel, and by faith know that God is not finished with me just yet. The Scripture I share with you today is found in Colossians 2:8-10.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.  For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.  And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power…
Colossians 2:8-10

The Christian cannot fall prey to  to the philosophies of the world, that are contrary to God’s word, neither their vain deceits. We are to follow Jesus Christ, by living for Him, through the power of the Spirit and His word.

Why? Because He is the fullness of the Godhead in the body of flesh, and He is the supreme power over all principality and power. He completes those who follow Him.

 

Rooted And Built Up In Jesus Christ

“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power: in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.”  Colossians 2:6-15  (KJB)
