Subject: Can anyone explain? |
Bible Note: WTB, Thank you for your response. In what sense am I complete in Him? Well, first of all ,never did I say "feel" complete. Our faith is based upon fact- the Word of God. I believe the promises in God's Word. I call these identification truths- I am now identified with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection! So, to be complete in Him is to be complete in all He accomplished in the forementioned acts. Christ now (presently) lives in me. This is a fact of scripture, not a feeling! Second, I'm not talking a cavalier or flippant faith, but again, one based on His Word! How about Eph. 1:3, am I , or am I not "Blessed with all the spiritual blessings in the heavenlies, in Christ?" His Word says I am:-) Whether one "feels so" or not, is not the issue! Let me ask you (rhetorically if you choose), what do you mean when you say "Don't be deceived - God is more than what theology teaches, He's real!" I'm not deceived. How much more real can you get than, Gal. 2:20, Christ living in us! My friend, theology is merely the study of God. We understand about God primarily through His Word, don't we?
