And to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:19
Ephesians 3:14-21 is a poignant prayer for the church in Ephesus. These maturing Christians were struggling with every aspect of Holy living. Paul knows the answer, a love that surpasses knowledge.
Love is the keystone to every aspect of Christian living. Love does conquer all because love is a choice, an act of freewill that gives the believer power and strength to hope, persevere, and vanquish all things that stand between them and their Savior, making room for the miracle of life flourishing in grace and mercy.
Man strives to explain and understand every phenomenon of the universe. Boundaries and clear definition give security, but for the believer, knowledge ends with a void and then faith completes us. We cannot fathom God’s love because it reaches dimensions we cannot measure. We must willingly step into a cycle where faith perpetuates love and love perpetuates faith. One cannot exist without the other.
Fill yourself with the fullness of God’s love.
