What is the fulness of Christ that we receive, the grace and truth.
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Then we understand the mystery, of the fulness of the Gentiles/
..
Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
We were under the bondage of the world, but thew fulness of the time came, God sent forth the Son to redeem us from under the law to receive adoption as sons...
Galatians 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
The mystery continues, of the fulness of times, all is gathered together in Christ, this is what God has purposed in Himself., Christ is the fulness that fills all things in all....
Ephesians 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
People speak of love, but the love of Christ again, is to be filled with all the fulness of God...
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Being filled with all the fulness of Christ in us, is the perfecting of the saints, to the unity of the faith, that knowledge of Christ which is being filled with all of His fulness ( love ) a perfect man is the measure of Christ, in love are grown up to Him in all things ( the fulness of Christ)...
Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
That mystery of the fulness of the Gentiles coming in, is for us to not walk as other Gentiles walk, in vanity, giving themselves over to lasciviousness uncleanness and greediness..
Ephesians 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
In Christ all fulness dwells, and all is reconciled to Himself, we who were alienated by wicked works are now reconciled, by being presented holy, unblamable and unreprovable ( all that fulness of Christ filled in us)...
Colossians 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
This again is that mystery of Christ, fulfilling the word of God, the fulness of the mystery among the Gentiles, whch is Christ is in us, for the hope of glory ( in His fulness/love)
Which as told, is why we are warned to every man, that all have to be presented perfect in Christ Jesus ( working mightily in the fulness of Christ in us)...
Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Should we beware we are not under the bondage of the world any more ?
Yes, because in Christ dwells all the fulness of God, and we are complete in Him, by the circumcision of putting off the body of the sins of the flesh.
We who were dead in our sins by uncircumcision are forgiven all tresspasses, as the rudiments of the world were spoiled through Christ by all of HIs fulness dwelling in us ( perfectly loving and no longer perfectly hating )...
Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Adam, you copy and post portions of scripture like the Pharisees of old supposedly loved the scripture and like them, you don’t talk about much the gospel. Why is that?
MoonlightDavid, says to confess the sins, that's right, and what else do we do next.
Confess and forsake, as our sins are forgiven for Christs sake.
How do people never learn that going on in your trespasses is not correct.
We read and believe that the wicked one ( of sin ) is overcome, because Christ ( the WORD) abides in us..
Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Psalm 68:21 But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
1 John 2:12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
Adam, a sinless perfectionism heretic, ironically continues to sin by bearing false witness against those who encourage him to confess his daily sins.
Instead of repenting and forsaking the sin of bearing false witness, Adam simply doubles down with more false accusations. Adam continuously and falsely accuses those who obediently confess sin as if they believe it’s ok to keep on sinning.
All unrighteousness is sin David, the ones who do not do righteousness ( for David, that means do unrighteousness ) are not of God.
Confess what you like, but the word of God confesses more.
Anyone who does sin does not know God, for God is love, and love works no ill.
1 John 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Adam I agree, “Anyone who does sin does not know God, for God is love, and love works no ill.”
So whenever you choose to lie about other people on the forum, as you have, you are doing sin. Until you confess your sins, you remain an unrepentant unregenerate sinner. It’s evident to all you don’t know God
