Kwa kuwa ndani yake (Yesu Kristo) Ishi utimilifu wote wa Uungu wa mwili. Nanyi mmekamilika ndani yake, ambayo ni mkuu wa mamlaka yote na mamlaka (Wakolosai 2:9-10)
There is no other way to be saved and be made whole and reconciled with God, than through Jesus Christ, Mwana wa Mungu. Jesus Christ is the Way, ukweli, na Maisha. All the fulness of the Godhead bodily dwells (permanently) ndani Yake.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life
Yesu akamwambia, I am the Way, ukweli, na Maisha: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me (Yohana 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, Ina maana, mbinu, 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 (Soma pia: ‘Yesu alileta amani ya aina gani duniani?‘ na ‘The peace, Yesu alirejesha kati ya mwanadamu aliyeanguka na Mungu‘).
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 (Isaya 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 (Waefeso 1:22-23)
Lakini kila mmoja wetu amepewa neema kwa kadiri ya kipimo cha kipawa cha Kristo. Kwa hiyo anasema, Alipopaa juu, Aliongoza mateka, akawapa wanadamu zawadi. (Sasa alipopaa, ni nini ila kwamba Yeye alishuka kwanza hata sehemu za chini za nchi? Yeye aliyeshuka ndiye huyo pia aliyepaa juu sana kuliko mbingu zote, that He might fill all things.) (Waefeso 4:7-10)
God the Father is Spirit and God the Holy Spirit is Spirit, only God the Son has a (natural) Mwili, and therefore all fulness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Jesus Christ.
God the Son, Yesu Kristo, 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 (imeanguka) man and fulfill Gods redemptive work on earth and in His flesh, restore man (make whole, ponya) na kumpatanisha mwanadamu na Mungu.
Jesus Christ became a partaker of our body, so that, by faith and regeneration in Him, we could become partakers of His Body (Soma pia: ‘Yesu alikuwa Mwanadamu kamili?‘).
Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu, 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, na 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, wakuu, nguvu, Inaweza, Utawala, authorities, Watawala wa giza la ulimwengu huu, uovu wa kiroho mahali pa juu, na kadhalika.) 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 (Oh. Matendo 2:32-36; 5:31, Waefeso 1:20-23, Wafilipi 2:9-10, Wakolosai 1:13; 3:1, 1 Timotheo 1:17; 6:15-16, Kiebrania 1; 8:1-2, 1 Peter 3:22)
The new man is complete in Jesus Christ
John bare witness of Him, and cried, akisema, 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 (Yohana 1:15-17)
Kwa maana ndani yake hukaa utimilifu wote wa Uungu wa mwili. Nanyi mmekamilika ndani yake, ambayo ni mkuu wa mamlaka yote na mamlaka (Wakolosai 2:9-10)
Katika Yesu Kristo hukaa utimilifu wote wa Uungu wa mwili. 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, kupitia kuzaliwa upya, 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 unaanguka anymore and you don’t live separated from God, but in Jesus Christ, umekuwa kiumbe kipya; 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 (Yohana 3:34-36)
Kama wewe ni kuzaliwa tena katika Kristo, you belong to His Body, Kanisa.
The Church is the assembly of born-again believers, wana wa Mungu (wanaume na wanawake), 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, Weka 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, Nao wakampa nguvu (Mamlaka, legal-right, uwezo) Kuwa wana wa Mungu. Kwa kila mtu, 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 Mapenzi ya Mungu, 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; ya gospel of Jesus Christ, msalaba, damu, Hukumu, 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.
