Christ Our Fullness

Of His fullness we have received, and in Him we are full or complete. All the grace that was manifest in Christ enwraps us and enfolds us, we are in it. All the perfections and beauties in the character and life of Jesus are ours. Paul says: “Ye are complete in Him.”

It means in the mind of Paul that the completeness, the fullness, the perfection of Christ was all reckoned unto us. Paul said: “As many as have been baptized into Christ
have put on Christ.” Think of the responsibilities attached to it! Think of the glories enwrapped in it! Think of the blessings that accrue from it To be baptized into the Name of Christ, and the putting on of Christ, bearing the Name of Christ is the greatest honour that heaven can confer upon a human.

What mighty works can be wrought through the Holy Child Jesus! The Lord lifts us up, and the Lord enables us-by His grace, to enter into our inheritance and to assume our responsibilities in His wonderful family! He won no victory and He won no triumph in His substitutionary work that was not for the benefit of the church.

Our Inheritance

All that Name stands for, the believer stands for in the presence of the Father.
You are baptized into the legal right to use the Name.
You are baptized into the legal privilege of that Name. You are baptized into all the responsibilities of a Son vested with prerogatives of that mighty Name.

God help us by the power of the Spirit to enter into the riches of our inheritance in Him.
When He said, “All authority is given unto me in heaven and on earth I send you out as heralds”-then that authority He had is ours; we stand as His representatives. His righteousness is ours, His love is ours; all the graces that adorned His beautiful life are ours.

When we put on Christ in baptism, we are by His grace able to enjoy all the graces.
As believers, all these riches, all these graces are ours. No special act on the part of God-no special act or preparation on our part: by faith, we accept Christ as our Saviour and Lord and when we did, all the wealth and riches in Christ Jesus became ours automatically.

We stand clothed in the rights, privileges, and powers of the Son of God.
