Fullness according to..


Ephesians 3:19, “And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Paul says Christ reveals Himself inside, Gal. 1:16. Through Christ in us and us in Him, we grow in revelation and edification of this transcendent, unearthly Love, 1 John 4:7-8.

Love builds up more and more and more and more…1 Cor. 8:1.

We are the vessels of His love 2 Cor. 4:7. These spiritual vessels grow, 2 Peter 3:18, Col. 2:19. I can have fullness by revelation of Him and metaphorically my vessel could be a small cup. I can have fullness by revelation and my vessel could a five gallon bucket, swimming pool, Lake Michigan, Atlantic Ocean, Solar System, Milky Way, etc.

Our vessels grow in Him. In Him ALL FULLNESS dwells, resides and lives bodily, Col. 2:9. We are growing into Him and like Him.

The word “filled” is passive voice in Eph. 3:19. It means’ filled until full by something or rather someone else.’

Paul says, “Be filled with ALL the FULLNESS of God.” What is that? I am chewing on that as well. I will attempt this time, but know this will definitely expand. The word “all” means ‘radically all’. We partake in the riches of His grace, Eph. 1:7, 1:18, 2:7, 3:8, 3:16, Phil. 4:19, Col. 1:27, 2:2. His riches are unsearchable. There are no bounds to His riches. There is no end to them. According to the riches of His grace, we are filled with all fullness and are growing into that as He causes the increase.
