21 In 1:9 God’s will refers to Christ; the will of God is profound in relation to our knowing, experiencing, and living in the all-inclusive, extensive Christ.
32 God’s will for us is that we would know Christ, experience Christ, enjoy Christ, be saturated with Christ, and have Christ become our life and person—3:4, 10-11; Eph. 3:16-17.
6b As we walk in Christ, we will be rooted in Him to have downward growth and be built up to have upward growth—vv. 6-7.
7五 我们应当照着包罗万有、延展无限的基督,来评断、衡量一切事物—8节:
7E We should estimate and evaluate everything according to the all-inclusive, extensive Christ—v. 8:
81 基督是一切真智慧和知识的管制原则,是一切真教训的实际,也是一切蒙神悦纳之观念的唯一准则。
81 Christ is the governing principle of all genuine wisdom and knowledge, the reality of all genuine teaching, and the only measure of all concepts acceptable to God.
92 Only when we have a clear view of the place of the all-inclusive, extensive Christ in God’s economy will we be able to see through delusion and deception.
10F We need to be infused, saturated, and permeated with the all-inclusive, extensive Christ until in our experience He is everything to us—1:27; 2:16-17; 3:4, 10-11:
111 The all-inclusive, extensive Christ is in us, but we need to see Him, know Him, be filled with Him, be saturated with Him, and be absolutely one with Him.
13a The more Christ replaces our natural life and culture with Himself, the more we will be able to declare, “To live is Christ”; to us, to live will be the Christ who takes full possession of us, occupies us, and fills us with Himself—Phil. 1:21a.
14b The all-inclusive, extensive Christ desires to replace every element of our natural life and culture with Himself so that we may be the one new man as His corporate expression; this is the message of the book of Colossians—3:10-11.
