“For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power!”
—Colossians 2:9-10
One of the great tenets of Scripture is the declaration that Jesus Christ is completely sufficient for all matters of faith, life, and godliness (2 Peter 1:3-4). He is sufficient for Creation (Colossians 1:16-17); Salvation (Hebrews 10:10-12); Sanctification (Ephesians 5:26-27) and Glorification (Romans 8:30). So pure is He that there is no blemish, stain, spot of sin, defilement, deception, corruption, error, or imperfection in Him (1 Peter 1:18-20). So complete is He that there is no other Savior besides Him (Isaiah 43:11); He is the only begotten Son (John 1:14,18); all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Him (Col. 2:3); the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Him (Col. 2:9); He is heir of all things (Heb. 1:2); He created all things and all things were made by Him, through Him, and for Him (Col. 1:16); He upholds all things by the word of His power (Col. 1:17; Heb. 1:3); He is the firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15); He is the exact representation of God (Heb. 1:3); He has no beginning and no end (Rev. 1:17-18); He is the spotless Lamb of God (John 1:29); He is our peace (Eph. 2:14); He is our hope (1 Tim. 1:1); He is our life (Col. 3:4); He is the living and true Way (John 14:6); He is the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star (Rev. 22:16); He is Faithful and True (Rev. 19:11); He is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Heb. 12:1-2); He is Captain of our Salvation (Heb. 2:10); He is the Elect One (Isaiah 42:1); He is the Apostle and High-Priest of our confession (Heb. 3:1); He is the Righteous Servant (Isaiah 53:11); He is the Lord Almighty (Mal. 3:17); He is the Redeemer (Isaiah 41:14); He is the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 54:5); He is the God of the whole earth (Isaiah 54:5); He is the Man of Sorrows (Isaiah 53:3); He is the Light of the world (John 9:5); He is the Son of Man (Matt. 20:28); He is the true Vine (John 15:5); He is the Bread of Life (John 6:48); He is the Door to Heaven (John 10:7); He is the Sovereign Lord (Phil. 2:10-13); He is Prophet, Priest and King (Heb. 1:1-3); He is our Sabbath rest (Heb. 4:9); He is our Righteousness (Jer. 23:6); He is the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6); He is the Chief Shepherd (1 Pet. 5:4); He is the Lion of Judah (Rev. 5:5); He is the Rock of Salvation (Psalm 62:2); He is the Ancient of Days (Dan. 7:13); He is the Counselor and Comforter (John 14:26); He is the Messiah (John 4:25-26) and He is the great I AM!
