Colossians 2:9 (KJV) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Who is the pronoun “him” referring to? The end of verse 8 gives the answer, Christ; for in Christ dwelleth (To abide as a permanent resident) the “Godhead bodily” Who was Jesus Christ? Jesus was God in the flesh; but there is another word there “Godhead” If asked to explain God we would be lost for words. How can God be Jesus? We see God in Genesis and He creates all you and I know. But then we see God in the flesh as Jesus Christ steps out upon the pages of Scripture in Matthew. As Jesus leaves this world after He has won the battle against death we see the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives within every person that has trusted in what Jesus did as He died on a cruel cross. We are introduced to what we call the trinity God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit.
Matthew 28:19 (KJV) Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
There are not 3, they are all 3 in 1. In Jesus dwell the fullness of the Godhead. You and I have a body, soul and a spirit therefore we are 3 in 1. As you and I walk around in the world all we see is a body we can’t see beyond that; but there is more to us than a body. When those who saw Jesus all they saw was a body. In the next verse we are taught
Colossians 2:10 (KJV) And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Now we see that being complete is being in Jesus. How in the world can this be? Simple, believe that Jesus came to do what He said which is this.
Luke 19:10 (KJV) For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
In order to be found something needs to be lost. Once found it is no more lost but saved. Oh but you say Jesus is not here on this earth. You think not?
Acts 6:5 (KJV) And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, Stephen one of the first deacons was full of faith and the Holy Ghost. Jesus at this point had already returned to Heaven. Yet we read of a man named Stephen who was full of the Holy Ghost which Jesus promised to everyone which trusted in Him. The question is does Jesus still walk the earth? Yes He does in everyone who has trusted in Jesus, been saved. But you say what about this man or woman I know that says they are saved but yet they lied, cheated and steal and who knows what else. Read closely why they chose Stephen “they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost” In order to be full you have to know what empty is. When your gage in your car tells you, you are almost out of gas, empty you go to the gas station and fill up. That gives you more gas to go more miles. The reason God’s children lie, steal, drink, use drugs, have an affair, use bad language and the list goes on and on. It’s because they are not full of the Holy Ghost. They quit reading their Bibles. They have not Prayed in who knows when. They are empty, their spirit in which we Worship God with is weak because of no nourishment from the Lord. As the Bible teaches us, men love darkness and the quickest way to get to darkness is to stay away from the light.
