Post #105: Philippians 3:17 – Mark Those Who Walk So | KJV Right Division (Week 4)

Post 105 · Completing the Word of God (Col 1:25)

"Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God." — Colossians 1:25 (KJV)
Who? Paul — uniquely commissioned not just as a minister but as the one who completes (fulfills) God's written revelation.
Dispensation: Grace Age — Paul's epistles complete the Canon; the mystery hidden from all ages was the missing piece that Paul's revelation supplied.
Key: "Fulfil the word of God" = πληρόω — to fill up, to complete, to bring to fullness. Paul's revelation of the mystery COMPLETED the Word of God.

Colossians 1:25 is one of the most remarkable apostolic claims in Scripture. Paul says he was made a minister 'to fulfil (complete) the Word of God.' This means that without Paul's revelation, the Bible was incomplete. The mystery — Jew and Gentile in one Body, Christ in you, the grace dispensation — was the missing piece that no previous prophet or apostle had received or written. The Old Testament prophets gave us creation, the covenants, the Law, Israel's history, and prophecy. The Gospels gave us Christ's earthly ministry. Acts recorded the transition. But the full revelation of the mystery — the Body of Christ's identity, calling, and destiny — came through Paul alone. His 13 letters complete the revealed counsel of God. Without them, we would not fully understand who we are, where we came from, how we are saved, or where we are going.

Application: Read Colossians 1:24-29. Paul's ministry has a specific content (the mystery, v.26-27), a specific audience (every man, Jew and Gentile equally, v.28), a specific method (warning + teaching in all wisdom, v.28), and a specific goal (present every man perfect in Christ, v.28). How does understanding Paul's role as the one who COMPLETES the Word of God affect how you approach his letters? Do you read them with the same weight and priority as Old Testament prophets?

Prayer: Lord, Your Word is complete — and the piece that completed it was the mystery revealed through Paul. Help us to read his epistles not as one voice among many but as the completing revelation, the capstone of Your written counsel to humanity. Amen.

예언과 비유의 목적

예언과 비유의 목적 Rightly Dividing · 성경 연구 예언과 비유의 목적 믿게 하려 함이라 "모든 성경은 하나님의 감동으로 된 것으로 교훈과 책망과 바르게 함과 의로 교육하기에 유익하니" 디모데후서 3:16 · 2 Timothy 3:16 하나님께서는 예언과 비유를 통해 미래의 일을 미리 알려 주십니다. 그 목적은 단 하나, 그 일이 이루어질 때에 우리가 믿게 하려 함 입니다. 아래 열 개의 성경 구절은 이 진리를 증거합니다. Scripture Passages · 성경 구절 10선 1 Matthew 13:10–11 KJV And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 흥정역 제자들이 나아와 그분께 이르되, 어찌하여 그들에게 비유로 말씀하시나이까? 하매 그분께서 그들에게 답하여 이르시되, 이는 하늘의 왕국의 신비들을 아는 것이 너희에게는 허락되었으나 그들에게는 허락되지 아니하였기 때문이니라. 2 John 14:29 KJV And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. 흥정역 이제 그 일이 일어나기 전에 내가 너희에게 말한 것은 그 일이 일어날 때에 너희가 믿게 하려 함이라. 3 Isaiah 46:9–10 KJV Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there...

Dead to the Law – Married to the Risen Christ | Romans 7:4 KJV

Week 2 · Day 12-1 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead.” — Romans 7:4 KJV Death breaks the Law's hold. A widow is freed from the law of her husband by his death. Paul applies the same principle: we died with Christ — Galatians 2:20 — and that death severed our legal relationship to the Law. We are no longer married to the Law. We are married to the risen Christ. ✂ Right Division The purpose of this new marriage: that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Not the fruit of legal compliance under threat of condemnation, but the fruit of a loving relationship with the risen Christ. The Spirit produces this fruit naturally — Galatians 5:22-23. ✦ Application You are not married to the Law. You are united to the risen Christ. Let that relationship produce fruit in your life — naturally, freely, joyfu...
