Where do you find completion?
Our completion is only found in Him
Matthew 26:28 "For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins."
MATTHEW 26:27-29
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.
28 This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
The principle of the Old Covenant was "do" and you shall live.
The principle of the New Covenant is "it is done," and includes redemption, reconciliation, righteousness, and sanctification.
The work is finished! We are complete in Him!
If the Old Covenant had no defects, there would have been no attempt to institute another (Heb. 8:7). In the Old Covenant, men found themselves unable to abide by its agreement, for it was based upon a man's performance.
The new agreement, however, is based totally upon God's grace. Under the Old Covenant, men approached God through a priest, while under the New Covenant, we have direct access to the Father through Jesus Christ {our High Priest and mediator}. Under the Old Covenant, a man's sin led to his death while under the New Covenant, God is merciful to our unrighteousness. Under the Old Covenant, a man could never be cleansed of a consciousness of sin; yet while under the New Covenant, our sins and iniquities are remembered no more, and our guilty consciences are cleansed forever.
Prior to salvation, we are incomplete and there is a constant striving in every person to satisfy their hunger. Through the new birth, we are complete in Christ and our hunger now should only be for more revelation of what we already have in Christ.
In the same way that Jesus had the fullness of God in Him, we also have the fullness of Christ in us.
That makes us complete or perfect in Him, that is speaking of our spiritual man. Our born-again spirit is identical in righteousness, authority, and power to Christ's spirit because our born-again spirit is the Spirit of Christ (Rom. 8:9).
It has been sent into our hearts crying "Abba Father"
(Gal. 4:6).
{Oh thank you, Lord Jesus!}
