When one is thirsty, it is nice to have a filled glass of water, tea or milk. Sometimes when one is dirty, tired and sore, it is nice to have a tub full of hot water in which to soak. When on a long trip, it is good to have a tank full of gas. While these things are good or nice to have, there are some things that are much more important with which to be full.
Christians are to be filled with fruits of righteousness. “Being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:11 NKJV). It is very important that a Christian gives glory and praise to God. This cannot be done if the Christian is not actively making sure that he is full of the fruits of righteousness.
Christians are to be filled with the knowledge from God. “Filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding” (Colossians 1:9). Christians cannot continue to grow in faith unless they continue to study God’s Word, the Bible. It is only from the knowledge it gives that a person can get wisdom and understanding.
Christians are to be filled with the fullness of God. “That you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19). The fullness of God only comes by making sure our hearts are full of the love of Christ along with the knowledge from His Word.
Study your Bible. Make sure you are getting knowledge from God. Learn to have the love of Christ. Be busy developing the fruits of righteousness in your life. If any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.
