Bible Note: Hello, Ray. Suppose we let Dr. MacArthur explain Colossians 3:16 for us. "WORD OF CHRIST: This is Scripture, the Holy Spirit inspired Scripture, the word of revelation He brought into the world. ..... DWELL IN YOU RICHLY: 'Dwell' means 'to live in' or 'to be at home,' and 'richly' may be more fully rendered 'abundantly or extravagantly rich.' Scripture should permeate every aspect of the believer's life and control every thought, word, and deed. (cf. Ps.119:11; Matt.13:9; Phil.2:16; 2 Tim.2:15). This concept is parallel to being filled with the Spirit in Eph.5:18 since the results of each are the same. In Eph.5:18, the power and motivation for all the effects is the filling of the Holy Spirit; here it is the word richly dwelling. These two realities are really one. The Holy Spirit fills the life controlled by His Word. This emphasizes that the filling of the Spirit is not some ecstatic or emotional experience, but a steady controlling of the life by an obedience to the truth of God's Word."
