The Fulness of God by Dr Michael H Yeager

THE BELIEVER’S CONFORMITY TO GOD’S FULLNESS
We learn from the Apostle that in Christ all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily (Col. 2:9), that he is the image of the invisible God and that he is in the form of God (Col. 1:15; Phil. 2:6). The Apostle has also shown us that it is the determination of grace to conform us to the likeness of Christ (Rom. 8:29; 1 Cor. 15:49; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 1:21). If these two strands of truth are brought into conjunction with our text we will find that to be indwelt by and conformed to Christ is, in one respect, to be filled with the fullness of God. We may make the equation: ‘If Christ dwells in my heart by faith, the fullness of the Godhead dwells in me by faith’.
