The Epitome of Wholeness

Seven flowers appear on my site’s header, signifying the believer’s wholeness in Christ. There are many uses of the number seven in the Bible, with four being, 1) the seventh day the Lord rested upon creation of the earth (Genesis 2:2-3); 2) the seventh month the ark rested (Genesis 8:4); 3) debts released every seven years (Deuteronomy 15:1); and 4) the seven churches of the province of Asia (Revelation 1:4).

The number seven in the bible is translated as “hepta,” figurative of God’s perfect finished work, usually symbolizing completeness, which Merriam-Webster defines as having all necessary parts, elements, or steps. Total. Absolute. Fully carried out. Brought to an end.

Thankfully, Colossians 2:10 tells us, as believers, we are “complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. Renewing our minds with this truth strengthens our faith in God’s completion of us, through His Son, Jesus Christ.
