What does being "complete in Him" mean for your daily Christian walk?

Our Position: Already Complete in Christ

Colossians 2:10 reminds us, “you have been made complete in Christ”.

The verb is past-tense and passive—God did it, and it’s done. We are not working toward wholeness; we are working from it.


What “Complete” Means

• Nothing lacking in your standing before God (Romans 8:1).

• Every spiritual resource already deposited in you (Ephesians 1:3).

• Full acceptance that cannot be upgraded or revoked (John 1:16).

• Power for life and godliness supplied (2 Peter 1:3).

• Union with the One who rules every authority, visible and invisible (Colossians 2:10b).


Daily Implications: Walking in Completeness

• Confidence, not insecurity

– You pray and serve from acceptance, not for it.

• Freedom from performance traps

– Legalism loses its grip when Christ’s finished work settles your worth.

• Ongoing repentance and growth

– Being complete doesn’t negate growth; it fuels it, because you’re secure enough to change.

• Victory in spiritual warfare

– The head over every ruler lives in you; temptation no longer owns the final word.

• Humble service

– Full people can pour out; you give because you’re overflowing, not because you’re empty.


How to Practice Completeness Today

1. Start the morning declaring, “In Christ I lack nothing.”

2. Read Scripture as a mirror of who you are, not a ladder to climb.

3. Reject condemning thoughts with Romans 8:1.

4. Face temptation by affirming Christ’s authority over it.

5. Serve someone intentionally; completeness turns inward focus outward.

6. End the day with gratitude for grace already given, not favors hoped for.


Key Takeaways to Remember

• Your position in Christ is settled; your practice now grows from that security.

• Wholeness is received, not achieved.

• Every need you meet today, you meet as a person already fully supplied in Him.
