THE COMPLETION OF THE BODY OF CHRIST. The church will be separated from all impurities and then integrated into the planned, (from the beginning), as the Bride of His creation. She is that which the Lord has called and prepared to complete the body of Christ. She is the most excellent work of His hands, that He might be complete and consummated. Eph. 1:23 As it was with the first man, Adam. It was not good for him to be alone. Gen. 2:18 So it will be with the last Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:45 She will be brought into being by the Spirit of the Lord. As a companion, a friend, a lover and a Bride that will a Wife unto Him. She is that which will complement the Lord Jesus for she will bear His likeness and character. She is His gift unto Himself, two majestic, eternal entities married and molded together as one. Eph. 5:23
A BRIDE OF FULL AND COMPLETE CONSECRATION. Her commitment is totally unto Christ. There is none other in her eyes and emotions. She lives for Christ, and for Him alone. He is all and in all to her. Their love, one for another is perfect and of the highest order. Col. 3:11 The feeling of love that exists between Christ and His Church is beyond the capability of men to comprehend, it passes knowledge. Producing the result of the Bride being filled with all the fullness of the Godhead. This will cause her to be exactly what He is in His fullness. <Filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. NIV. Eph. 3:19 Christ took upon Himself the form of man. He is the <PHYSICAL>, natural, earthly body of very God Himself. It was the good pleasure of the Father (who is Spirit. Jn. 4:24) to dwell in the physical body of His Son. Like wise the Holy Spirit abode in Christ. All fullness, the complete being of who and what God is was in Christ. Col. 1:19 Therefore. Jesus was able to make statements such as; <My Father and I are one> John 10:30 This statement must not be misconstrued into saying that they are one and the same person, for they are not. However, there was perfect, absolute harmony in the Godhead, whether in heaven or on earth, or in the physical body of Jesus. Jesus prayed that the amalgamation of the body of Christ, the church would be equal to that of the Triunity. Thank the Lord it will be. John 17:22 Remember, the example of this unity is one we live with every day. We too, are triune, body, soul and spirit. In Christ Jesus the fullness of the living God, the Godhead, the Triunity of God, took up His abode. Col. 2:9 Surely, God was in Christ. 2 Cor. 5:19 The church is to reach completion or come to maturity in Christ Jesus. As the fullness of God indwells Christ so it is the purpose of the Lord that the Bride reach that same spiritual height and majesty. With Christ as the Head of the body, the church, every power that is His is ours. Col. 2:10 That includes all power in heaven and earth. There is no limitation placed on the glory and power that He would make known to His church. Greater is He that is within you. The Lord will bring His church to His perfection. Eph. 5:27
