How do we know our completeness in Christ is true?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture consistently affirms that Christ is the source of all fullness and that our unity with Him assures our completeness.
Our confidence in being complete in Christ derives from the truth affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in passages such as Ephesians 1:19-23 where we learn about Christ’s preeminence and authority over all things. By understanding that Christ possesses all power and that His fullness is imparted to His body, the Church, we realize that our completeness is rooted in our union with Him. Additionally, passages like Ephesians 3:17 speak of Christ dwelling in our hearts, reinforcing that genuine faith in Him secures our completeness. This doctrine reassures us that we cannot add to our salvation or standing before God; it is made secure through Christ's finished work.
