The term "Completer" is not explicitly found in the Bible; however, the concept of completion is woven throughout the Scriptures, often associated with God's work in creation, redemption, and the believer's spiritual journey. The idea of God as the Completer is rooted in His nature as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end (Revelation 1:8). This entry explores the biblical understanding of completion, focusing on God's role in bringing His purposes to fulfillment.

Creation and Completion

In the account of creation, God is depicted as the ultimate Completer. Genesis 2:1-2 states, "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work." Here, the completion of creation signifies the perfection and sufficiency of God's work, setting a pattern for the Sabbath rest.

Redemption and Fulfillment

The theme of completion is central to the narrative of redemption. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is portrayed as the one who completes the work of salvation. On the cross, Jesus declared, "It is finished" (John 19:30), signifying the completion of His sacrificial mission to atone for sin. This act of completion fulfills the Old Testament prophecies and the requirements of the Law, providing a way for humanity to be reconciled to God.

Spiritual Maturity and Perfection

The Apostle Paul frequently speaks of the believer's journey toward spiritual maturity as a process of being completed in Christ. In Philippians 1:6 , Paul expresses confidence "that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." This assurance highlights God's ongoing work in the believer's life, guiding them toward spiritual maturity and Christlikeness.

In Colossians 2:10 , Paul further emphasizes that believers "have been made complete in Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority." This completeness in Christ is both a present reality and a future hope, as believers are called to grow in their faith and knowledge of the Lord.

The Church and the Body of Christ

The concept of completion also extends to the Church, the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 describes the purpose of spiritual gifts as equipping the saints for the work of ministry, "until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ." The Church is being built up and completed as each member contributes to its growth and unity.

Eschatological Completion

The Bible concludes with the ultimate completion of God's redemptive plan in the eschatological vision of the new heavens and new earth. Revelation 21:6 declares, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End." This proclamation marks the fulfillment of God's promises and the consummation of His kingdom, where all things are made new and complete in Him.

In summary, while the specific term "Completer" is not used in Scripture, the concept is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, reflecting God's sovereign ability to bring His purposes to fruition in creation, redemption, and the believer's life.5051. teleiotes -- a completer, finisher
