Colossians 2:10 "And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power"

I have been going through what I believe to be a spiritual battle like no other the past few weeks. This is a verse that I need to memorize and remind myself of daily..and throughout the day. Beloved, we are complete in Christ! From the moment that you invited Him to be part of your life, and to live in your heart, you began a new life. You became complete. You are whole. The more time you spend with Him, the more you know Him..and you are rooted, and built up in Him and established in your faith. In Him dwells all the fullness of God, and YOU are IN HIM. Amazing!
When we are in a battle, we must remember who God has made us..IN Christ..we must remember that Christ is the head over all principality and power...and we are IN Him. As plants draw nourishment from the soil through their roots, so we draw our life giving strength from Christ. The more we draw life from Him, the less we will be affected when we are facing those spiritual battles..and the less we will be "taken in" by the world's way of dealing with things.
Paul writes against any philosophy of life based only on human ideas and experiences. Paul was himself a gifted philosopher, so he was not condemning philosophy..he was condemning teaching that credits humanity, not Christ with the answers to life's problems. Knowing Christ is truly all we need to deal with any battle. He alone holds the answers to life's questions..because He IS life. He is our unique source of wisdom and power. No child of God needs anything else. Beloved, you are COMPLETE in Him.
