This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." (What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions ? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets,some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
The divine nature of Christ fills the whole universe. The divine nature of Christ is also the divine nature of the heavenly Father. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is also the divine nature of Christ that is to be formed in us as a result of our obedience to all that Christ had commanded. God the Holy Spirit brings it into remembrance in us, Therefore, the word of Christ that we obey produces the fruit of God the Holy Spirit in us which is also the divine nature of Christ. Can you see that this will not happen without the full help of God the Holy Spirit in you? Your full obedience to His leading is vital for full Christformation within your born again spirit. Be reminded, you cannot fool God with your disobedience. You will reap according to what you have sown with your life. If you sow your full obedience to Christ, you will reap full Christformation in you. If you sow full disobedience to all that Christ had commanded, you will surely reap full destruction of body, soul and spirit in the end.
As the verse above says, how does Christ our Lord "fill the whole universe"? He fills the whole universe with His body. His body is the ''body of Christ" mentioned above. How does He fill it with His body? It is built up gradually. How is it built up gradually? By reaching unity in the faith and in the knowledge of Him, who is the Son of God. He is the Son of God. When was there disunity in the faith that you need unity now? When was there disunity in the knowledge of the Son of God? From the beginning! During His days on Earth also. Everyone who believes in Him is joined to His body. His body is a unit. As a part of that unit, they need to grow. Grow in what? Grow in the divine nature of Christ. There is no other growth than the growth of the divine nature of Christ in them. They need to mature. How do they mature? Be full with the divine nature of Christ formed in them. His divine nature must be formed in them. How? Through their obedience to Him. The whole measure of the divine nature of Christ must be formed in those who believe in Him. The fullness of Christs fills every part of His body. That would mean all the parts of His divine nature must be formed in them fully. In this way, the whole universe will be filled with Him. He fills the whole universe.One must obey His word to be filled with Him. He is the Word of God. The whole universe hangs by this Word of God. It is sustained by Him.
Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
