For in Him (Jesus Christ) dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10)
There is no other way to be saved and be made whole and reconciled with God, than through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. All the fulness of the Godhead bodily dwells (permanently) in Him.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life
Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me (John 14:6)
God made a way through the cross and the blood of His Son, to take away the enmity between God and fallen mankind and restore the peace between God and man.
Only through Jesus Christ and His blood and by faith and regeneration in Him, you can be reconciled with God.
No one can come to God the Father then through His Son Jesus Christ.
It doesn’t matter what people say. If Jesus says, there is no other way, it means that there is no other way!
There are no other ways, means, methods, technics, and steps that can make a person holy and righteous and restore the spiritual position of fallen man and reconcile man back to God and make man complete (Read also: ‘What kind of peace did Jesus bring on earth?‘ and ‘The peace, Jesus restored between fallen man and God‘).
Jesus Christ became fully Man and in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief (made Him sick): when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors (Isaiah 53:10-12).
And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church, Which is His Body, the fulness of Him that fills all in all (Ephesians 1:22-23)
But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.) (Ephesians 4:7-10)
God the Father is Spirit and God the Holy Spirit is Spirit, only God the Son has a (natural) body, and therefore all fulness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Jesus Christ.
God the Son, Jesus Christ, is the only Person of the Godhead, who became flesh and blood and became fully Human and therefore became a Partaker of humanity, so that Jesus Christ could become the Substitute of (fallen) man and fulfill Gods redemptive work on earth and in His flesh, restore man (make whole, heal) and reconcile man back to God.
Jesus Christ became a partaker of our body, so that, by faith and regeneration in Him, we could become partakers of His Body (Read also: ‘Was Jesus fully Human?‘).
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is Saviour, Redeemer, High-Priest and King
Jesus is the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of fallen man, and High-Priest of the New Covenant, which is sealed with His own precious blood. But Jesus is not only Savior, Redeemer, and High-Priest of the New Covenant.
Because God the Father has highly exalted His Son Jesus Christ and put Him above the angels, and has given Him a Name, which is above every name.
Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father and He has appointed Jesus as King in His Kingdom.
God the Father has given Jesus Christus, His Son, all power and authority in the heavens and on earth.
He has put all things (angels, principalities, power, might, dominions, authorities, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places, etc.) under His feet and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fulness of Him, that fills all in all (a.o. Acts 2:32-36; 5:31, Ephesians 1:20-23, Philippians 2:9-10, Colossians 1:13; 3:1, 1 Timothy 1:17; 6:15-16, Hebrew 1; 8:1-2, 1 Peter 3:22)
The new man is complete in Jesus Christ
John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, This was He of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for He was before me. And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:15-17)
For in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10)
In Jesus Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. If you have identified yourself with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and your flesh has died in Him and your spirit is raised from the dead in Him, through regeneration, and you have received the Holy Spirit, then you have been made complete in Him and all the fulness that dwells in Christ, dwells in you.
You are no longer a poor sinner and don’t belong to the generation of fallen man anymore and you don’t live separated from God, but in Jesus Christ, you have become a new creation; a son of God and you are complete in Him.
For He whom God hath sent speaks the words of God: for God gives not the Spirit by measure unto Him. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He that believes on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him (John 3:34-36)
If you are born again in Christ, you belong to His Body, the Church.
The Church is the assembly of born-again believers, sons of God (males and females), and is ‘the Embassy’ of the Kingdom of God that exercises the spiritual reign of Jesus Christ on earth.
The Church is the spiritual Body, in which all the fulness of Christ dwells, by the Holy Spirit, and has all authority and all power in Him.
If you belong to His Body and received the Holy Spirit, then you are complete in Him and from this complete status and position in Christ, you shall walk in the sonship of God after the Word and the Spirit in obedience to His will.
As long as you stay in Him and obey Him; the Word and Head of the Body, you have all authority and power to do the will of God, keep His commandments and do what Jesus has commanded the believers to do.
Complete in Christ to do the will of God
As many as received Him, to them gave He power (authority, legal-right, ability) to become the sons of God. To everyone, who is born again in Christ and has become a new creation and is reconciled with God and belongs to His Body, God has given the authority in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit to walk as a son of God, to stand against the temptations of the devil, to resist sin and to walk in the fulness of Jesus Christ in the will of God and represent, preach and establish the Kingdom of God on earth.
Because it is the will of God, that His sons are yielded to Him and obey Him and His Word and live in His will and live holy lives and persevere and stand in Him and resist all the temptations of the devil and redeem sinners, who live in the lies of the devil in the bondage of the kingdom of darkness, by preaching the truth; the gospel of Jesus Christ, the cross, the blood, judgment, and hell and call them to repentance, so that many sinners will be saved from death and hell and be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ from all their sins and iniquities and by faith and through regeneration be made holy and righteous and reconciled to God and receive the Holy Spirit, so that they also become complete in Him and from this complete status and position in Christ, walk in submission and obedience to Him in His will.
‘Be the salt of the earth’
