Supplementary Lesson 3: The Fullness of the Spirit

A. As a Characteristic

The first sense (used as an adjective) refers to spiritual maturity. Notice for example the following passages:

Acts 6:3
Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom.

The deacons were to be spiritually mature, manifesting the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). This was not supposed to be just a momentary condition, but their way of life.

Acts 11:24
He (Barnabas) was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, ...

Again, this indicates spiritual maturity.

QUESTION:
What does the "fullness" of the Spirit mean when it is used as an adjective?
