God wants us to be full !
In Matthew 5:6 It tells us that, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.” God wants us to be full and we are told in several scriptures what we need to be filled with.
We must be thankful that God fulfills our physical and most important, our spiritual nourishment. We must be made full of the goodness of God.
Colossians 2:6-10 says, As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godheadbodily.10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power, again in Ephesians 3:19 it reads
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. How grateful should we be knowing that we have the fullness of God at our fingertips.
We can become full of the blessings of Christ, we read this in Romans 15:29
I know that, when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ. Also, in Colossians 1:19-20. For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him.
We must put for our Faith in God, His Grace and His Truth to become full.
Hebrews 10:22 says, let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. What better thing in life can we put our faith and trust in to be satisfied and filled?
With Christ as our Savior, we will be made full of Joy and Peace forever. We have this promised to us in, Romans 15: 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
We must live each day full of Hope for that home in eternity as it gives us that hope in, Hebrews 6:11, We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end.
