I have decided to post a daily devotion from the Spirit of Prophesy to uplift and edify the brethren... comments are welcome but not required. May you be blessed by these words of comfort and wisdom.

Filled With His Fullness
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with
all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:19.
There are many who think that it is impossible to escape from the power of sin, but the
promise is that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. We aim too low. The mark is much
higher. Our minds need expansion, that we may comprehend the significance of the provision
of God. We are to reflect the highest attributes of the character of God. We should be thankful
that we are not to be left to ourselves. The law of God is the exalted standard to which we are to
attain.... We are not to walk according to our own ideas..., but we are to follow in the footsteps
of Christ.
The work of overcoming is in our hands, but we are not to overcome in our own name or
strength, for of ourselves we cannot keep the commandments of God. The Spirit of God must
help our infirmities. Christ has become our sacrifice and surety. He has become sin for us that
we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Through faith in His name He imputes unto
us His righteousness, and it becomes a living principle in our life.... Christ imputes to us His
sinless character and presents us to the Father in His own purity.
We cannot provide a robe of righteousness for ourselves, for the prophet says, “All our
righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). There is nothing in us from which we can
clothe the soul so that its nakedness shall not appear. We are to receive the robe of righteousness
woven in the loom of heaven, even the spotless robe of Christ’s righteousness. We are to say,
“He died for me. He bore my soul’s disgrace, that in His name I might be an overcomer and be
exalted to His throne.”
It is privilege of the children of God to be filled with all the fullness of God. “Now unto him
that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world
without end” (Ephesians 3:20, 21).
