Through Christ We Now Have All Of God's Fullness

“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:18-20

Our Father does not say that He will only place part of His Spirit within us. Our Father does not limit His Spirit to only as much as a man can handle. Our Father is never limited by man; look, a man couldn’t save us, so our Father sent Jesus. Which was God in the flesh, born of a virgin, conceived by the Holy Ghost, and bam, salvation came into the world! There are no limits with our Father, He is the great I Am and He knows how to solve every problem. Our Father will place His entire Spirit within us, and God through His Spirit will cause us to walk in His statutes. Therefore He will cause us not to sin, and He will cause us to do what is right and what will bring life and glory. Remember how the Greek Word for saved, “sozo,” means to be saved from the power, the presence, the pleasure, and the penalty of sin? Well, we have all of this redemption because we have all of our Father's Spirit dwelling within us, and He is able and willing to save us completely!

"Wherein He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him. Seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7:25

The things that man has struggled with from the time of Adam, have been removed from us by the power of Christ in our lives. Through salvation our Father has provided an escape for us! God does it for us by His power that is within us. Our old sinful body has been destroyed through Christ, Romans 6:6. God has removed the wage of sin from us, which was death, John 5:24. Our Father causes us to stop sinning by being a refiners fire and a fuller soap for us, Malachi 3:2. Jesus leads us in the paths of righteousness, Psalm 23:3. And our Father causes us to no longer stumble and fall short of His righteousness, Jude 1:24. Our Father is God, and God alone, possesses the power needed for us to not sin. Our Father has given us the complete power of His Spirit, and He has held nothing back from us. Our Father has given us all of Himself! Our Father's Spirit of forgiveness, His Spirit of Love, His Spirit of Power, the exact same Spirit that He has, He has given us! I could write here for pages about the glorious Truths of having God’s whole Spirit dwelling within us, but entire books wouldn’t begin to adequately describe the glory of it! But that doesn’t hinder us for one second; we can know the full glory of it, because all of God fullness now dwells within us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We are the Temples of the Holy Ghost, and His Spirit will teach us all things!
