Spurgeon. Colossians 2:9-10. Jesus Uses The Fullness Of The Godhead For Our Salvation.

All the attributes of Christ Jesus, as truly God and truly man, are there for us to benefit from. All the fullness of the Godhead are there to make us complete. He cannot give us deity, that is to make us gods, but He has done all that can be done for He has used His divine power and Godhead for our salvation. He has used His all power, His presence that filled this entire universe, His all knowingness, His unchangingness and His truthfulness for our defence. Stand up believer of Christ and see Jesus yoking all of this divine nature to the chariot of salavtion. How wide is His grace, how firm is His faithfulness, how umoving is His unchangability, how never ending is His power and how deep is His knowledge. Jesus used all His Godhead rights to build the pillars of the temple of salvation in which we live. The unlimited love of the Saviours heart is every drop ours. Every muscle is His arm of salvation is ours. Every jewel in His crown He has used and is using and will use to deliver us from sin, Satan, this corrupted wicked world and death. The rod of divine justice is also ours and for our good and His glory. The whole of the Messiah, in His adorable character as God the Son, He has given over to us, not for us to become gods, but for us to become like Him for we were made in His image and it is therefore our goal to reflect Him. His divine wisdom is our direction. His knowledge is our instruction. His power is our protection. His love is our comfort. His mercy is our place of peace. His unchangingness is what we trust. He does not hold back but opens up the mountain of God and calls us to go in a mine it's treasures for they are all ours. The treasures of joy, the true knowledge of God and freedom from sin. The treasure of being conformed into His image. He says to us, "be satisfied with favour and be full of the goodness of the Lord." Oh how sweet is it to see Jesus and call upon Him with the certain confidence that by seeking to know Him, to become like Him, to overcome our sin and Satan and this wicked world, we are seeking that which He has promised and His word is certain.
