Biblical Reasons that God will Complete you in every way.

Reminders come to complete our promises to God
We are reminded to complete what we have promised in Church Work – by grace through faith.
2Co_8:6 So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.
2Co_8:11 but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.
Make pledges by faith and ask for God’s grace to complete it. Speak to God about how to do it and ask Him for favour of every sort in every sphere of life. Expect God to give you the ability and unmerited favour to complete what you have purposed in your heart to do.

Apostles pray for completion in our Souls
2Co_13:9 For we are glad when we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, that you may be made complete.
Col_4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

God gives us apostolic instruction and care, with perspective of the church and Christian life so that we can be complete in Him with each other.
2Co_13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

Positional Truth in Christ completes and changes our inner picture
Col_2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Php_1:6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

The Word completes our discernment and instruction in Righteousness
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2Ti 3:14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
2Ti 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2Ti_3:17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Jesus’ New Covenant makes us completely pleasing to God
Heb 13:20 Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Heb_13:21 make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

Patience completes & perfect us
Jas_1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

God completely destroys our enemy when our obedience is complete
God will Complete His Wrath on the Enemy to fulfil His Word and when your Obedience is fulfilled
Rev_15:1 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.
2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
2Co 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
2Co 10:6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Gifts of the Spirit complete the revelation – we all prophesy in part.
1Co 13:9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
1Co 14:31 For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
1Co 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

Your healing has been completed already!
1Pe 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
It is a past tense healing! Believe that Jesus’ stripes o his back are proof of your cost of healing – paid for with his suffering and His precious blood.

God completes you in the context of a local Church
Bringing your share completely builds the body of believers the church.
1Co 12:20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.
Eph 4:15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—
Eph 4:16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

With so many reasons that God will complete the good work He started in you, we can confidently look to the Author and Finisher of our faith to see how He completes us form day to day.
