Infinite Fullness

"And of His fullness have all we received."
John 1:16

It is Christ alone, who supplies all the
spiritual needs of all believers.

There is an infinite fullness in Jesus Christ.

There is laid up in Jesus, as in a treasury,
a boundless supply of all that any sinner
can need--either in time or eternity.

He is rich in . . .
mercy,
grace,
wisdom,
righteousness,
sanctification,
and redemption.

Out of Christ's fullness, all believers in every age
of the world, have been supplied. Every saint in glory
will at last acknowledge that he is Christ's debtor for
all that he is.

(J. C. Ryle, "The Gospel of John")
