And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
His love for you is unfathomable, unconditional, pure and eternal. He
loves you more than you could ever love yourself. In fact, you could never have
loved Him if you didn’t learn of His love. That’s why John the Apostle
declared, “We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Jeremiah 31:3
also says, “The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved
thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn
thee.”
Our opening verse says, “And to know the love of Christ...that ye might
be filled with all the fulness of God” (Ephesians 3:19). God’s purpose for our
lives is to be filled with His fullness, to be overflowing in His love,
manifesting His life, nature, character and power. That’s what the Lord Jesus
was talking about when He cried out in the temple, “He that believeth on me, as
the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water”
(John 7:38). His love-power flows from us to the world (Romans 5:5). It’s a
fire that can’t be quenched (Song of Songs 8:7), an overcoming power that
crushes fear (1 John 4:18) and every evil work. Walk in the fullness of this
love-power.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for granting me revelation knowledge of
the dimensions of your love; the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
thereby filling me with your fullness. I’m rooted and grounded in love, and my
heart overflows with the love of Christ. I manifest and radiate your glory to
my world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 3:17-19 TLB - And I pray that Christ will
be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him.
May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; 18-19 and
may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long,
how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this
love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of
it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with
God himself.
1 John 4:10,16,18 TLB - In this act we see what real love is: it is not our love for God but his love for us when he sent his Son to satisfy God’s anger against our sins. 16 We know how much God loves us because we have felt his love and because we believe him when he tells us that he loves us dearly. God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living with God and God is living in him. 18 We need have no fear of someone who loves us perfectly; his perfect love for us eliminates all dread of what he might do to us. If we are afraid, it is for fear of what he might do to us and shows that we are not fully convinced that he really loves us.
