How to share Christ's fullness with others?
In what ways can we share the "fullness" received from Christ with others?

The Verse for Reflection

“From His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” John 1:16


The Riches We Have Received

• Full forgiveness—Colossians 1:14

• New life—2 Corinthians 5:17

• The indwelling Spirit—Romans 8:11

• Spiritual gifts—1 Corinthians 12:7

Everything Christ pours into us is meant to overflow to others.


Why Share the Fullness?

• It glorifies God—Matthew 5:16

• It obeys Christ’s commission—Matthew 28:19-20

• It builds up the church—Ephesians 4:15-16

• It offers the world hope—Philippians 2:15-16


Practical Ways to Share Christ’s Fullness

1. Gracious Speech

– Let “no unwholesome talk” out; give “grace to those who hear” (Ephesians 4:29).

2. Sacrificial Service

– Follow Jesus’ example of foot-washing humility (John 13:14-15).

3. Clear Gospel Proclamation

– Tell how Christ saved you (Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15).

4. Intentional Discipleship

– Teach others to obey all Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:20; 2 Timothy 2:2).

5. Generous Giving

– Share resources freely, reflecting God’s lavish grace (2 Corinthians 9:6-8).

6. Hospitable Invitations

– Open your home and table (Romans 12:13; 1 Peter 4:9).

7. Spirit-Empowered Gifts

– Use your gift “for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 4:10).

8. Burden-Bearing Care

– “Carry one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2).

9. Consistent Encouragement

– Speak life daily (Hebrews 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:11).

10. Visible Holiness

– Let transformed living testify to Christ’s sufficiency (Titus 2:10-12).


Staying Filled to Keep Pouring Out

• Daily Scripture intake—Psalm 1:2-3

• Persistent prayer—1 Thessalonians 5:17

• Fellowship with believers—Hebrews 10:24-25

• Ongoing obedience—John 15:10-11

As we remain connected to Christ, His fullness continues to flow through us, touching every life He places in our path.
