What do these two verses have in common?

Ephesians 5:18-19:

"...but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Colossians 3:16: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Answer: The Spirit-Filled Christian is the Word-Filled Christian and the Word-Filled Christian is the Spirit-Filled Christian.

You cannot have one without the other. If you are filled with the Spirit, you will fill yourself with the Word of God; And if you fill yourself with the Word, you will be filled with the Spirit.

2 timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
