Hello Sister Complete_In_Him, would you help me find that scripture, the location for the statement above?
We are set apart to an inheritance, vocation, position in the household of God. If God says, and He does, that we are "complete" in Him, how much more can the completed work be? are we now "made perfect" by the flesh? The flesh is not part of the salvation equation, nor the focus of our edification, it is the "spirit of holiness" that the word builds up "unto a perfect man" unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Romans 15:16
That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
1 Corinthians 1:2
Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
