Are You Full? By Barry Bennett
The great need of Christians today is to know and believe the truth of the “new creation.”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. (2 Cor. 5:17)
In the beginning, the first creation was complete and very good. God had prepared everything that billions of people would need in order to survive and prosper. There was enough oxygen, enough food, and more than enough resources for building blessed lives. Sin corrupted the first creation and Jesus’ redemptive work opened the door for the “new creation.”
The new creation is about man. Though we live in a fallen world until Jesus returns, we don’t have to live in a fallen state. Being born again is the door from the old into the new.
And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. (John 1:16)
Believers have received His grace and of His fullness. Just as in the beginning, every need has been anticipated and provided for. Those who are in Christ are complete (Col. 2:10). We need not beg God to meet our needs. They are abundantly met in Christ.
Paul prayed for believers to get a revelation of this new reality. He prayed that we . . . may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:18-19)
There is no lack in the fullness of God. There is healing, peace, joy, faith, favor, and every blessing. Your needs are abundantly supplied by releasing the grace within. The new creation is fully equipped.
The challenge is for believers to believe this blessing. Most still have a concept of needing to plead with a faraway God to come down and help us. But the reality is different. God now lives in us (John 14:23), and the potential to speak and receive is available to whosoever will.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Eph. 3:20).
This is the power of the new creation. It is in us. Don’t let it go untapped!
