“But when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.” (1 Corinthians 13:10)
Any person who does not know God in his or her life is truly lacking. Yet many people do not realize this. Many assume that higher education alone can make them complete and fulfilled. The very thought that “I have already attained fullness” becomes a barrier, preventing many from learning or receiving anything further. If a vessel is completely filled with water, is it possible to pour anything more into it?
Only the Lord Jesus Christ can make us complete. He alone can fill us and bring us to fullness. It is only when He comes to dwell within us that our deficiencies begin to disappear. Before knowing Christ, we were like little children. Children do not possess the mindset of adults or the wisdom of the world. In the same way, those who do not know Christ remain like children, lacking complete understanding.
After coming to know Christ, we are brought to completeness and become mature human beings. The apostle Paul explains the transformation that takes place when we move from a childlike state without Christ to spiritual maturity through knowing Christ:
“When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.” (1 Corinthians 13:11–12)
Yes, beloved, while we once spoke, thought, and reasoned like children in our spiritual understanding, when the perfect Christ comes to dwell within us, we put away childish things and become spiritually mature people.
Some, after reading the Bible and gaining a certain level of biblical knowledge, begin to think that they know everything and look down on others. In doing so, they assume that they have already attained perfection. What truly matters is not merely reading and knowing the Scriptures, but giving Christ the space to fill our hearts. For that, it is essential first to recognize our own shortcomings. It is equally necessary to surrender ourselves to God so that those deficiencies may be removed.
When we humble ourselves and yield to Christ, He fills us. Only when the fullness of Christ comes to dwell within us will what is partial in us be done away with. For the Father has given Him as head over all things to the church, “which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” (Ephesians 1:23)
