The Gospel's Full Blessing

Commentators explain that when Paul speaks of the "fulness of the blessing of Christ," he is referring to the complete spiritual riches the gospel offers. This isn't about material prosperity, but about the abundant spiritual gifts, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the life-changing effects of salvation, justification, and peace that he was commissioned by Christ to share.
