and you have been filled by (Christ). (Colossians 2:10)
I like the NASB rendering of this verse.
and in Him you have been made complete. (10)
Do you ever feel inadequate? As if you are somehow lacking as a Christian?
You have been filled with Christ.
In him, you have been made complete.
The Father has wiped out your debt of sin, nailing your certificate of debt to the cross.
You are holy, faultless, and blameless before him. (Colossians 1:22)
He has qualified you for a heavenly inheritance. (Colossians 1:12)
You are his child.
So when the devil tries to accuse you, tell him to buzz off.
And when your own heart accuses you, know that God is greater than your heart. (1 John 3:20)
Your feelings of guilt and inadequacy do not nullify his grace and love toward you.
So rest, child of God. Rest.
You are complete in him.
