Complete in Him

Complete In Him Colossians 2:9, 10: For in him [Christ] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him. . . . If we are complete in Christ then we are truly complete . Few Christians have utilized the power of God within them because they fail to renew their minds to the absolute truth of The Word in believing that they are complete. To live the more abundant life and to be “more than conquerors through him that loved us,” we must confess and act as the Word of God directs. When our confession fails to be in line with The Word, we live below par, we fail to manifest the more abundant life, and we do not indicate that we are “more than conquerors.” When we believe too little, we manifest less than that which legally and rightfully belongs to us as sons of God. When I confess that I am not what His Word declares that I am, God is not less in me, but I am less in Him. Literally, it makes me a liar. I am then confessing that God is not right, and that He has not done for me what He says He has done. God forbid that we should do this for God is Truth and all men are liars.* If The Word declares that we are complete in Him then we are complete —for we are what The Word says we are, we have what it says we have, we will be what it says we will be, and we will have what it says we will have. Our accepted English meaning of the word “complete” does not convey the proper emphasis in this phrase of the Scriptures: “And ye are complete in him. . . .” Aramaic better expresses this phrase with clarity. In Aramaic there are four different grammatical forms to show the intensity of a verb. English has no verb form which corresponds to this Aramaic form. Even in Aramaic very few verbs go through all four of these conjugations. The first conjugation is Peal in Hebrew, Peshitta in Estrangelo Aramaic, or what would be a simple form in English. The second conjugation is called Pael in Hebrew, Marcobta in Estrangelo Aramaic, or what would be an intensive form
