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. |
