"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people, And has raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;" (Luke 1:68-69)
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the Salvation given to us by God through His perfect life are full and sufficient for us forever. Christ is the Fulness of God, in whom were created the heavens and the earth, the powers, substances, thrones, dominions and forces of Creation, the Eternal Word of God, the Firstborn and the Prince of Life. All things were created in Him and for Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. The earth, the heavenly universes, and the higher eternal realms were created in Christ. He is the Exact Image of Almighty God and the Prince of Glory of the Almighty. He is the Perfection and Completeness of God over all things, the Only Begotten Heir and Lord of all the heavenly realms of life. In Him are all the treasures of wisdom, science, and light beyond all understanding. He subsists with the Father before the ascension of eternal forces, before the seed projects of times and dimensions, before the beginning of the Cosmic Ages, for all things, visible and invisible, understandable and incomprehensible, come into existence through the Word of God, who is Christ the Son in person. In Him dwells the power and truth of God over everything that is and over everything that moves.
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him." (Colossians 1:16)

The first man sinned, and brought death and corruption into the world, behold, God so loved the world, and the Son of God was given to us men, dead and sinners, because of the sublime love of God, that through Him we might be redeemed from the black darkness of our fall and condemnation, and through Him we might be saved. There was nothing greater that God our Father could have given us than His Beloved Son. A mighty salvation has been given to us in Jesus, the Only Begotten of the Most High. With mankind lost in their sins, He is the greatest possible sacrifice that God could have made out of love for us sinners, so that our unreachable debt would be paid, and, through faith in His Name, we would have a new opportunity for repentance and be saved, if only we would receive His almighty testimony in our hearts. Man's supreme problem is sin, our unjustifiable legal debt at the heavenly level before the Creator, contracted because of the dark sin and disobedience of our first earthly father, the fruit of unworthy disbelief and contempt against the Faithful Father of Light. Christ is the perfection and totality of God, in Him is power, salvation and life, in Him is and lives every being that breathes and moves, through Him live all angels, all superior celestial races, all forces, all the earthly spirits and creatures of the worlds, for He is life, and in Him is life. He is sufficient and limitlessly beyond for the totality of Creation. He fulfills all standards, needs and demands for truth, justice, life, power, wisdom, purity, holiness, righteousness, glory, love, joy, fulfillment, expansion, satisfaction , of incorruptibility, of greatness and transcendence, beyond what can be supposed. Just as the Lord is sufficient for all the fullness of infinite creation, in all the realms of His dominion, He is also sufficient for us. This means that the salvation which God grants us, through Him, and which is in Him, in His own divine person, is also superabundantly full and sufficient for us. It would be an unpardonable outrage against the Almighty Father for us to seek for ourselves a salvation greater or beyond that of the Son of God.
"But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made to us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption;" (1 Corinthians 1:30)
"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." (John 1:3)
If we, through repentance and faith, have Christ, we don't need things beyond the Son of God, but the things that already are and have always been within Him, for all things are within Him, even as He is within of the Father, who is Greater, and if we receive him, consequently, born of God within him and through him, through Jesus, in him we also have everything we need: mercy, grace, redemption, deliverance, purification, forgiveness, justification, regeneration, spiritual rebirth, sanctification, quickening, reconciliation, acceptance, adoption, sonship and restoration of communion with God, entry into the Internal Kingdom of God, the Gift of Holy Spirit, protection, love, joy, peace, satisfaction and inner spiritual supply, heavenly blessings, promises, light, instruction, direction and guidance in the walk of faith, teaching, wisdom, spiritual and material providences, empowerment, perfecting and growth in the knowledge of God, faith, vision, hope, confirmation, corroboration and strengthening in the Ways of the Lord. And if we persevere and hold fast in the fight and in the confession of faith, submitting to the Lord without turning aside to the end and win, we will have the final victory in the light, and the triumphant resurrection of glorification to eternal life in the very near time to come, on the day of the coming of the Lord and the visible manifestation of the Kingdom of God. All that pertains to our life and godliness, from the present life and to the life to come hereafter, whatever we may need, has been graciously and superabundantly given to us in the Son of God, if we will look to the light and give our hearts to Christ. The grace, love, mercy, forgiveness, goodness, providence and generosity of God towards us are full and abounding above all that we can suppose, for He has given us His Son, Jesus, and with the Son, also gave us all things. The Son of God, as well as the Father, is Full, Perfect, Exalted, Almighty, Omniscient, Sublime, Great, Eternal, Transcendent, Sufficient and Unlimited for us forever, as He is perfectly Faithful, Invincible, Infallible, Just and True, so that the Salvation which God has given us in His Son is equally Mighty, Overflowing, Full, and Sufficient forever for all who believe, if only we submit to the Kingdom of God, confessing Jesus Christ, the Only begotten Son of God, through faith.
"For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." (Colossians 2:9)
So then, as Christ is sufficient for us, the great salvation which God has provided for us in His Son is equally sufficient, complete, and powerful for our redemption and deliverance. Christ was sent into the world by God, born in the flesh, born of a woman, under the Law, as the New Adam of humanity, the New Prince of the Human Project, made similar to us, in all the limitations, pains and sufferings to which all we too are subject, even though without sin, for He, being fully God, became also fully man, even though perfect, born incorruptible and holy. But He, for the love of all, emptied Himself of the divine powers that He legitimately possessed, maintaining only His divine identity, becoming like one of us, subject to our same condition of suffering, pain, temptations and limiting laws. He experienced and knew fully, in his own body, what human nature was and how it was, even though, through His complete submission and obedience to the Father, He never sinned and suffered and won everything for us.
"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)
The Lord lived the perfect life and was thoroughly tested, until the end, and, having submitted to everything, he overcame in faith and obedience, on our behalf, by His extraordinary submission to the will of God, completing the model of the supreme life of God, holiness, righteousness, and perfection, which was the just requirement of God's Justice for our redemption and salvation, a race of sinners rebelling against heaven, fallen and hopeless. He was perfect in His earthly life of trials and testimony, and He was submitted to God until death, giving Himself in our place to satisfy the Just Judgment of the Wrath of God, which was against us, bearing our sins in His body, and obtaining the cancellation of our unjustifiable debt, by the shedding of His innocent blood, as the price paid for our redemption, bringing us the possibility of forgiveness. And because of our murders and hatreds, perversities and rebellions, He suffered, in our name, even though He was just and innocent, an unworthy death on a cursed cross. He lived the righteous and perfect life that was necessary, fulfilling the righteous Law of Moses and all the righteous Superior Law of God's Eternal Justice, overcoming all things, on our behalf.
"Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed." (1 Peter 2:24)
Jesus Christ, God the Son made man, out of love for the world, came to us, preached the Gospel, healed the sick, set captives free, preached peace, gave us witness to the truth and righteousness of God, through His own sublime life and glorious, brought back to us the power and scepter of the Kingdom of God, which rules with justice and judgment, the government of faithfulness, to reign over us again. His work of teaching, of witness, of power, of restoration, of deliverance and of extraordinary intervention, as an ambassador from the heavens, ending in His atoning sacrifice for our redemption, in His vicarious death and victorious resurrection, all His great heavenly work for us it was perfect, sufficient, and victorious forever. All that we may need, all that we can think, desire, or long for, true and good, has been conquered for us by Christ. He left nothing behind, of all our needs. He knew that we were fallen and dead in our corruption, sinners and without God in the world, without life and without hope of salvation. He knew of our evil, cruel and dark nature, but still He did not reject us, and He did not give up on us, while we were all still rebellious and submerged in our misery. He also knew that the price of our redemption was very high, the price of His own life, He being more than just a man, but also being God, God the Son, eternally perfect, holy and incorruptible. He experienced death not only as a perfect man, but also as God, for our sakes, conquering for us a perfect redemption, an eternal salvation, having supplied, through His life, with full sufficiency, everything we needed to be again accepted before God. The Lord, having died for us, being God and also perfectly man, was competent for our salvation, and left absolutely nothing behind all our death, all our sins, all our wickedness, all our our debt and condemnation. He suffered everything for love and won, giving himself and surrendering himself, being the Everything of God, for love of us. In Christ, we can receive forgiveness and redemption, through His perfect life, from God, who by His grace saves us, in His Son. We can receive spiritual rebirth, regeneration and the Gift of Eternal Life through Faith in Him. We lack nothing for our salvation and happiness, if only we believe and confess the victory of the light, which is Jesus Christ. We have the Son of God, we have the Prince of Life.
"Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2)
The world today, and many professing Christians among them, forget the great power and sufficiency of the salvation which God has given us in His Son, and many are made unbelievers, through blindness and perversity in their hearts that covet the things of this world, not trusting entirely in the victory, justice and perfect life of the Lord, and thus not believing with sincerity in the Word also Sufficient and in the grace of God, do not humble themselves and do not surrender their pride at the foot of the Cross, and do not let Christ fill their hearts, but, flirting with the world and giving way to the Devil, seek not only Christ, but Christ and something beyond. They never receive the Son of God with all their hearts and they do not trust in the power of God, who raised the Lord, gave him eternal victory and raised him to the heavens. They are always "fixing" the work of salvation and adding to the Lord's perfect life. They always need to add manias, doctrines, superstitions, rules, ideologies, philosophies, prophetic innovations, saviors, gods, justifications, spiritual tricks and customs besides the Sublime Savior and His perfection, and doctrines beyond the teaching of the Lord and the Apostles. Many Christians think that times have changed, and that is why the Gospel must be "reformed" and "adapted" to modernity, "stitched" beyond its perpetual and irreplaceable foundation, which is Christ, to adjust to the new times of humanity "scientifically advanced". The Gospel is founded forever on Christ, and like the Lord, it is unchangeable, and without Christ the Gospel becomes another gospel. The closing stone of the Gospel are the writings of the revelation of the Apocalypse of John. The teaching and preaching of many ministers of Christ through the centuries is also valid and inspired, useful for teaching, as long as it accords with the Major, Authorized, and Revealed Scriptures. But it was in Revelation that God said, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely." (Revelation 21:6). There God said, "It is done." The Work of Salvation in Christ was sufficient for us, and the Scriptures, by a supreme standard, are equally sufficient for us. Everything was completed and is completed in Jesus, the Fullness, Victory and Sufficiency of God for us. The Son of God is Sufficient and Overflowing for us forever.
"And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him." (John 1:16)
