We are Christ's completion

The fullness of Christ is the Church! It simply means that we are Christ's completion; He is the head, and we are the body, and when you take us together, then we are the Christ in full. We are the completeness of Him that fills everything. Beautiful truth! My wish is that all the children of God would understand this! John 1:16 says, we have received all His fullness, and His grace for grace.” We have received His fullness. Not surprised Lord Jesus Christ said For as the Father has life in himself; so has he has given to the Son to have life in himself” (in John 5:26) what He is talking about is inherent life.
Lord Jesus Christ is full of life; He is all of life; all of deity. God, which is the Father does not have any more life than our Lord Jesus has. Then in John 1:16 we read that we have received His fullness. He is full of God, and that fullness is what we have now as well, not in thin flow, it is in entirety. If we had less life than Jesus does, we would not be the fullness of Him, it's because the Bible says, “…the church, Which is the body of Christ, the fulness of him that fills everything.” Each everyone of us is filled in Christ, and with Christ. You are in Him, and He is in you.
The plan and idea of God, His dream from the start of the world is for us to be the entirety of Christ, and He make it effected in Lord Jesus Christ and by sending the Holy Spirit to live in us. The Church is a supernatural body; and we are one of the body. You are full of God, not sickness, not disease. Maybe you have been told that you have a poor background, so, you may not really amount to many things in life; but that is a lie because you are among another family; which is the Christ family; the Church! And if you are in Christ, you are in wealth, splendour, prosperity, and glory. Hallelujah!
