Filled with All the Fulness of God
“…that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God” (Eph. 3:19) I’d suggest the perfect cross-reference and the perfect example of being filled with all the fulness of God is Christ Himself in Col. 2:9 - “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Does this mean that all of...
