v.7 " Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."
Growth is in terms of the body which is glory from God, What does it mean? "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will."(Eph.1.5) The same body for his Son,- there is only a single fit, and this theological term has no relevance to the pagan world but to the mystery of His will, and is called: adoption.
Growth has a secondary meaning: abundance. In the Covenant provision is made for fruit bearing trees,(Gen.1.11-12). What does nationalism prove? It is planted by Satan. Fruits of the Spirit can only be grown abiding in Christ. We are complete in Christ so what are nations or culture wars, when I have seen the glory of the Lord God?
"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple./Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly./And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory./And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke./Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
Each believer blessed of God must believe God is good and all his promises are Yea and Amen in his on v.8 "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ."
