Pleroma definition

Pleroma means to fill a vessel, so that the result can be described by fullness. It also refers to being “full of the Holy Spirit,” endowing the recipient with an enduring, miraculous power. To be filled with the power of the Spirit is to have the fullness of the gifts of grace flow through one as a member of the body of Christ. According to Colossians 2:9, “the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily in Christ.” This fullness which is described in Colossians 1:15-19 is entirely related to Christ’s cross, death, and resurrection. For this reason believers also have this fullness in Him. By His cross, death and resurrection they are reconciled through faith, renewed, and made to participate in His triumph. Ephesians 3:19 contains the prayer that the readers may “know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” This knowledge is not given automatically. It depends upon the building up of the church as the body of Christ … so that Christ’s joy becomes their joy. (DNTT: R. Schippers)
