JESUS: MY EVERYTHING

(The Sufficiency of Christ for the Body of Christ)

INTRODUCTION

In a world filled with substitutes for satisfaction—
religion, rituals, rules, and rewards—rightly divided Scripture declares one simple truth:
Christ is enough.

For the Church, the Body of Christ, Jesus is not merely a teacher or example—He is our ALL (Colossians 2:10).

Pauline revelation shows us that everything we are, have, and hope for is found IN CHRIST ALONE.

SOVEREIGN LORD
Colossians 1:16–18
Jesus is supreme over all creation and the Church.

A. Creator of All Things – All things exist by Him and for Him
Colossians 1:16
B. Head of the Body – He governs the Church, not denominations
Colossians 1:18
C. First in All Things – Christ has preeminence, not traditions
Colossians 1:18
Dispensational Insight: Christ’s headship today is exercised through Pauline doctrine.

SUBSTITUTIONARY SAVIOR
1 Corinthians 15:1–4
Jesus paid it all—once, fully, forever.

A. Died for Our Sins – Full payment, no add-ons
1 Corinthians 15:3
B. Buried as Proof – Sin debt completely settled
Romans 6:10
C. Raised in Victory – Our justification secured
Romans 4:25
Dispensational Insight: This is the gospel that saves today—revealed to Paul.

SECURE SALVATION
Ephesians 1:13–14
Our salvation rests on Christ, not consistency.

A. Sealed by the Spirit – God’s ownership mark
Ephesians 1:13
B. Guaranteed Inheritance – Not probation, possession
Ephesians 1:14
C. No Condemnation – Eternal security in Christ
Romans 8:1
Dispensational Insight: The Body of Christ cannot lose what Christ purchased.

SUFFICIENT STRENGTH
2 Corinthians 12:9
Christ’s power works best when we stop trusting self.

A. Grace Is Enough – Strength supplied, not demanded
2 Corinthians 12:9
B. Weakness Welcomed – Dependence produces power
Philippians 4:13
C. Victory in Christ – Not flesh, but faith
Romans 8:37
Dispensational Insight: Grace empowers the walk, not the law.

STEADFAST SHELTER

Colossians 3:3
Our life is hidden with Christ in God.

A. Protected Position – Safe in Christ
Colossians 3:3
B. Preserved Purpose – Kept by His power
2 Timothy 1:12
C. Promised Future – Glory ahead
Colossians 3:4
Dispensational Insight: The Body of Christ rests secure before the Tribulation.

SPIRITUAL SUPPLY
Philippians 4:19
Jesus provides everything necessary for life and godliness.

A. Needs Supplied – According to His riches
Philippians 4:19
B. Wisdom Given – Through His Word
Colossians 2:3
C. Contentment Learned – Christ-centered living
Philippians 4:11
Dispensational Insight: Grace teaches contentment, not covetousness.

SOVEREIGN PEACE
Romans 5:1
Peace is a position, not a feeling.

A. Peace with God – War ended by the cross
Romans 5:1
B. Peace of God – Guards hearts and minds

Philippians 4:7
C. Peace in Christ – Rest in finished work
Colossians 3:15
Dispensational Insight: Justification brings permanent peace.

SPIRITUAL IDENTITY
2 Corinthians 5:17
Who we are is defined by Christ, not culture.

A. New Creation – Old things passed away
2 Corinthians 5:17
B. Complete in Christ – Nothing lacking
Colossians 2:10
C. Accepted in the Beloved – Fully received
Ephesians 1:6
Dispensational Insight: Our identity is heavenly, not earthly.

SUPREME HOPE
Titus 2:13
Christ is our present life and future glory.

A. Blessed Hope – The Rapture of the Church
Titus 2:13
B. Heavenly Calling – Citizenship above
Philippians 3:20
C. Eternal Union – Forever with the Lord
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Dispensational Insight: The Body of Christ looks up, not through prophecy.

CONCLUSION

Jesus is not part of our life—He IS our life.
Not law. Not religion. Not performance.
Christ alone is enough.
Colossians 3:11 — “Christ is all, and in all.”
