Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Jesus Christ completes every believer. The Greek word translated “complete” means to be completely full, crammed, or fully satisfied. In His grace, God gives us the Gift that keeps on giving. No matter how “needy” we become, Jesus is all we need.
I was reading through the book of Revelation when I came across this verse.
Rev 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
After reading this, I had to pause for a moment and ask myself if I could honestly say the last five words and mean them. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” I mean, I want Jesus to come back, but do I want Him to come back now? This led me to another verse. Continue reading
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Galatians 1:10-14
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
