09/13/25 FILL FILLED FILLING FULL

09/13/25 FILL FILLED FILLING FULL

I compiled this list of New Testament verses (KJV), which refers to the spiritual condition of believers (referred to as POSITIVES) and to non-believers (referred to as NEGATIVES), concerning being filled (fill, filled, filling, full) with either blessings of God (41 "POSITIVES" passages; 57 verses) or the results of resisting and rejecting God (15 "NEGATIVES" passages; 36 verses). I designated a few passages with an asterisk (*), which indicates that the verse addresses both the Positive and the Negative side.

There are a few other verses, which could have been added, but I chose verses which were easily seen to convey my criteria. I have given some context to emphasize the point.

I could have told you what the end result was for the "filling," but you can do that for yourself, since the verse is right in front of you. We determine what will fill our hearts.
