KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

In the Christian walk, having an understanding and a knowledge of the dimensions of Christ’s love is vital. It’s why the Apostle Paul prayed for the Ephesian church as we see in our theme verse.  To know the love of Christ is a spiritual experience. That knowledge surpasses physical understanding. When you get to know that love, you would be filled with all the fullness of God. 

To be filled with God’s fullness, it depends on your comprehension of the dimensions of the love of Christ. The breadth, depth, length and height- these are the dimensions (Ephesians 3:18) God so loved the world- John 3:16 When you know this love, you become a part of it. 

We have received of Christ’s fullness and grace for grace. Fullness means maximum capacity; everything that ought to be in its totality; completeness.

Is it possible? Absolutely. Jesus was a man. If Christ could be filled with God, you too can be filled with all the fullness God. All it takes is for you to comprehend the self-giving, sacrificial love (agape) of Christ.

Prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for the reality of your word to me. I thank you for your spirit is alive in me, revealing to me the complete understanding of the depth of your love. I know and express the true love of Christ by your spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Ephesians 3:14-19 “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

1 Peter 4:8 - Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
