Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me

 Good morning. As I indicated before Paul again says: in Him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head of all rule and authority. Remember that the Gnostics believed Jesus only became deity when the Holy Spirit came upon Him, and then went back to fully man because the Holy Spirit left Him on the cross. But that's not true. He was Deity His entire life and death – and then resurrection. We have been made complete - there is nothing lacking. It is a done deal. He is head over all rule and authority, so we don't need to be concerned that there is something greater than He is that might come against us. In Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And if God raised Jesus from the dead, He will also raise us from the dead. He didn't do all of this for us because we were super spiritual. When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions. We were dead and doomed. He made us alive and destined. He did not forgive us just some of our transgressions, He forgave us all of our transgressions! Father thank You that the reader is forgiven all of his/her transgressions. He/she will one day be raised up with Jesus! Continue to meet all of his/her needs.
