filled
Colossians 1:9
1:9 filled. “Filled” is the same word in the Greek as “fulfilled.” A Christian who knows and obeys God’s will is like a fulfilled prophecy, completed and giving strong testimony to the truth of God and His Word. A fulfilled believer will not only be “filled with the knowledge of His will,” but also “filled with the fruits of righteousness” (Philippians 1:11), filled “with all joy and peace in believing” (Romans 15:13), “filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18), “filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:19), “perfect and complete [same word as ‘filled’] in all the will of God” (Colossians 4:12), and “complete in [Christ]” (Colossians 2:10).
