In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him.
-Colossians ii 9,10
All the attributes of Christ, as God and man, are at our disposal... He cannot endow us with the attributes of Deity; but... He has made even His divine power subservient to our salvation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability, and infallibility, are all combined for our defence...
The whole of Christ... is by Himself made over to us most richly to enjoy. His wisdom is our direction, His knowledge our instruction, His power our protection, His justice our surety, His love our comfort, His mercy our solace, and His immutability our trust. He makes no reserve, but opens the recesses of the Mount of God and bids us dig in its mines for the hidden treasures...
Oh! how sweet thus to behold Jesus, and to call upon Him with the certain confidence that in seeking the interposition of His love or power, we are but asking for that which He has already faithfully promised.
-C.H. Spurgeon
