Does anything need to be added to Christ?
In the revelation of the Secret Administration found in Ephesians and Colossians Paul revealed that all has been accomplished beforehand by Christ, so we are now “complete in Him” (Col 2:10).
All things emphasized in the past by the Barrier Wall have been removed (Eph 2:14). We now live under an administration where there is:
- no water baptism
- no physical circumcision
- no divinely recognized nations
- no observance of days
- no dietary restrictions
- no religious feasts or suppers
- no signs or wonders
- no miraculous healing
- no casting out of demons
- no snake handling
- no raising of the dead
- no tongues
- no visions
- no Mosaic law observed
- no vows
- no animal scarifies
- no ordinances
- no altars
- no man-made temple
- no priesthood
- no confession of sins
- no prophecies being fulfilled
- no selling of personal possessions to have things in common
- no neglecting of the family
- no apostles
- no prophets
- no bishops
- no pastors
- no offices
- no miraculous gifts
- no local assemblies
All of these were characteristic of God’s past dealing with Israel, and most will represent His future work in the restoration of Israel. All of these were true when the Barrier Wall was present, “but now” (Eph 2:13) – in the absence of that wall – we are “complete in Him.”
There is nothing that needs to be added!
