Ephesians 3:19, “And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.“

Paul says Christ reveals Himself inside, Gal. 1:16. Through Christ in us and us in Him, we grow in revelation and edification of this transcendent, unearthly Love, 1 John 4:7-8.

Love builds up more and more and more and more…1 Cor. 8:1.

We are the vessels of His love 2 Cor. 4:7. These spiritual vessels grow, 2 Peter 3:18, Col. 2:19. I can have fullness by revelation of Him and metaphorically my vessel could be a small cup. I can have fullness by revelation and my vessel could a five gallon bucket, swimming pool, Lake Michigan, Atlantic Ocean, Solar System, Milky Way, etc.

Our vessels grow in Him. In Him ALL FULLNESS dwells, resides and lives bodily, Col. 2:9. We are growing into Him and like Him.

The word “filled” is passive voice in Eph. 3:19. It means’ filled until full by something or rather someone else.’

Paul says, “Be filled with ALL the FULLNESS of God.” What is that? I am chewing on that as well. I will attempt this time, but know this will definitely expand. The word “all” means ‘radically all’. We partake in the riches of His grace, Eph. 1:7, 1:18, 2:7, 3:8, 3:16, Phil. 4:19, Col. 1:27, 2:2. His riches are unsearchable. There are no bounds to His riches. There is no end to them. According to the riches of His grace, we are filled with all fullness and are growing into that as He causes the increase.

Knowledge of fulfillment

Romans 8:4, “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

The word ‘fulfilled’ is passive voice and subjunctive mood or the mood of possibility. Fulfilled can mean the following: to make complete in every particular, to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally, to flood, to diffuse throughout, to pervade, to take possession of and so to ultimately to control.

The root of ‘fulfilled’ is to satiate, or fill a boat with fish, or to be filled with emotion and wholly possessed.

In Christ, I am His righteousness by revelation and grace. His righteousness IN ME satiates my being. It fills and diffuses into me making me a new, righteous, holy creation. The knowledge of fulfillment of the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in me completely and every way in Christ by revelation and grace. I partake of Him and am in Him.

Simple

Prov. 14:15 (NKJV), “The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.”

The root Hebrew definition of “simple” means “hole for a post.” A hole made for inserting something. So, the above verse is saying that someone who believes every word is “a hole made for inserting something.” Huh?

I read this definition this morning and then went to lunch and I felt the Lord tell me, “A hole is something that needs to be filled. Something in lack.” The obvious sounds humorous as I am writing it, but when I heard the words they were quickened in my spirit which is different than reading Webster’s dictionary.

This is what I am reminded of when I heard those words:

Ephesians 1:10, “That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:”

Col. 2:9, “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”

Someone whom Proverbs would say is ’simple’ is someone who is in lack of the knowledge and revelation of the truth. They are someone who does not know the truth that is only in Jesus1, God’s only Son.

The purpose of our bodies is to be filled and full of God by His Spirit through grace by faith. In Christ, our bodies are the temple of His Spirit.

When I got back to my car, my eyes saw this “lack” or “hole” everywhere. I saw it in the tape cassette and cd player in my car. The car ignition. An electrical power outlet.

These things and the like are not in their purpose until they come in correlation with what they are purposed to be with.

As a believer, my purpose is to be filled by grace, with His Spirit, will, love and truth.
