All that is needed is to be Made Alive in Christ!

Paul's Ministry was about preaching the gospel. He never came with flattering speech nor pretext for greed. Nor did he seek glory from men ~ 1 Thessalonians 2: 5-6....Paul said "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form and in Him you have been made complete and He is the head over all rule and authority" ~ Colossians 2:8-10.

What does it mean to be made complete in Him and alive in Christ? "You were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived n the the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ and raised us up with Him" ~ Ephesians 2: 2-6. In being made alive in Christ, we do not pursue the flesh: physical or material or intellectual. We are called to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation" ~ Mark 16.
