Colossians 2:9-12 NASB
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; and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
The Greek word for "dwells" is in the present active tense. He is in bodily form today, tomorrow, and forever. In this mystery, we have become the body of Christ. Paul tells us that in that body we are complete, having received and made part of the fullness of Diety.
Circumscision of the flesh begins in the heart, a spiritual awakening and will be complete when we leave this flesh behind to assume our immortal bodies.
