John 1:16; (AMPC) “For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received (all had a share and we were all supplied with) one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favour upon favour and gift (heaped) upon gift” Wow! It doesn’t get any better than that does it? The Greek word for “fullness” is pleroma which means complete and full to the brim, filled to capacity. Paul prays for the Ephesians in chapter 3:19 that they would be filled with the fullness of God. What is this fullness? The Amplified Bible expands on this verse saying it is, “the richest measure of the divine presence.” I believe the “fullness of God” would include all the attributes of God, which would include His love, mercy, peace, joy, goodness, forgiveness, power, ability and the list could go on and on. This lines up with 2 Peter 1:4, “we are partakers of His divine nature.” It is almost too much to fathom!
In Ephesians 1:23 Paul again talks about God’s fullness, “And the church is His body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with Himself” (NLT). (See also Col 2:9; and Col 1:19). The fullness of God dwells in Jesus as we see from these verses and it is not only intended for us as individuals but also for the church body as a whole. The fullness of God is made available to us through our relationship with Jesus. Meditate on His fullness today, receive it by faith and enjoy the blessings.
