(Ephesians 3:19)
How do you explain having "the fullness of God?" It is the prayer of the Apostle Paul, that his readers develop a strong spiritual maturity. That this inner person be strengthened by the Holy Spirit. It should be the desire of every Christian, to get as much knowledge of the love of God, and embrace as much of what God has to offer of Himself, and of His kingdom, as we can. Paul tells us that in Ephesians 1:3 that we are "blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.." But the question is, are we taking advantage of those spiritual blessings? To know the love of God, is to know that through His Son Jesus, we have salvation, we have a shepherd that leads us through the storms of life, And as David says in Psalm 23, He will "lead us to the green pastures, and the still waters." He will "restore and sustain our souls". We have God's Word to direct out paths, so we will live lives of righteousness and peace. We have our brothers and sisters in Christ who are to be a support group for us. Of all that God is, and all that God has for us, is wrapped up in His love that is found in Christ Jesus. To know it, and to embrace it, is such a privilege and a blessing! To the world we can say! "It doesn't get any better than this!" GP
