John 1:16 NKJV
And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
Colossians 2:9–10 NKJV
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Ephesians 1:22–23 NKJV
And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 3:19 NKJV
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Colossians 2:2–3 NKJV
that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
All the fullness and the riches that were purchase for us in the substitutionary work are in Christ
Among the great treasures of this fulness is His love nature. Everyone of us has received Eternal Life, the nature of the Father, and that nature is love.
1 John 4:16 NKJV
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Many people have not taken the advantage of the fact that they are a love product, that we are born of love, that they have received the love nature; many have never realized that thye have in them the greatest thing in the world.
1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Love is the greatest because it is the nature of God.
The second greatest thing that comes to us when we are born again is joy.
The joy of the lord makes trouble to lose its grip upon us; it makes poverty lose its terror.
And you remember that He said, “The joy of the Lord shall be your strength.” That was a prophecy. Now Jesus said, “My joy I give to you.”
You understand the difference between joy and happiness. Happiness depends on the things that we have or own, like property or loved ones. But joy is a thing of the spirit. It is the one quality that has made Christianity attractive to the world. Joy is an artesian well in the spirit that bubbles up, overflows. It is the thing that Jesus said the Holy Spirit would give us.
Joy is what Jesus said the Holy Spirit will give us
John 7:38 NKJV
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
This is joy unhindered, pouring out from us with a joyous spontaneity that attracts at once and captivates.
1 Peter 1:8 NKJV
whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
The third component of the fullness of God is "peace that passeth all understanding.”
It moves up out of the realm of the senses into the realm of the spirit.
No matter what the persecutions may be, peace like a river flows through the spirit.
No matter what the turmoil is around, the peace of God rules.
Jesus said, “My peace I give unto you.” That is one of the most outstanding features of the divine life.
This fulness not only has love, joy, and peace, but all the fruits of the recreated spirit seen in Gal 5:22 “Of his fulness have we all received.” It doesn’t belong to just a few, but it belongs to every believer.
Philippians 4:6–7 NKJV
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
