When you have Christ, you are complete.

Colossians 2:10 (NLV)

 

Remember that you have already been made complete in Christ.

Simply learn to walk in the reality of your completeness every day and enjoy healthy relationship with God. The Christian life is about living out the truth of who you are in Christ, rather than trying to be someone you are not. Simply put, the Christian life is about "who" you become through Christ, rather than "what" you should do.

If you are unfamiliar with your identity in Christ, you are also unfamiliar with God's righteous work in your life. However, when you live in the truth of your identity, you will experience a deep intimacy and closeness to God that you have never felt before. This intimacy increases your ability to flow with God and enjoy all that He has in store for you in Christ.

Forget anything that slows you down or stops you from moving forward in Christ. Press on and pursue Him with enthusiasm, energy and intensity. Don't ever think you know everything about Him and don't need more revelation or insight. Despite having encountered Jesus numerous times, the Apostle Paul desires to know more about Him and become more like Him (Philippians 3:10). This is the heart cry of everyone who knows they are loved by God and loves Him in return.

Knowing that you are complete in Christ sets you free from comparing yourself to others. You are only comparing yourself to Christ. This is because Christ is the true and perfect measure of our identity; we were created by Him, for Him, through Him, and in Him.

By comparing yourself to Christ's glorious standard, you will never feel inferior or less valuable than anyone else. But you will have the passion to live with zeal and holiness, demonstrating to everyone that He is alive in you.
