For in Christ All the Fullness of the Deity Dwells in Bodily Form
Colossians 2:9
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form. (Colossians 2:9)
In context, Paul, the author of Colossians, was writing to a community facing false teachings that diminished the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. He affirms that the complete nature and fullness of God dwell in Jesus in bodily form, emphasizing that God became incarnate in Him. Paul encourages believers to embrace the fullness of Christ in their lives. Because Christ is fully God, we can trust in His power, love, and sufficiency in every aspect of our lives. ~ Jeff M Newman
