And to know the love
of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the
fulness of God- Ephesians 3:19
The next most important thing after salvation is knowledge. Now, you have
come to a knowledge of your reconciliation with Christ, you need to know what
that reconciliation has done for you. You need to know how the sacrifice of
Christ directly affects you. You need to know who you are now in Christ.
The apostle Paul prayed this prayer for the Church at Ephesus that they
would know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge. That is, beyond head
knowledge, you need a heart knowledge of the love of Christ. Beyond a mental
assent, you need a revelation knowledge of the love of Christ.
And what benefit is that to you? The text goes on to say,…”that ye might be
filled with all the fulness of God.” Having a revelation knowledge of the love
of Christ leads you to be full of God. The heart knowledge of the love of
Christ leads you to be conscious of God.
Friend, you can personalize this prayer and spend more time studying the
Epistles. You will find that by the day, you will grow in your knowledge of the
love of Christ. You are blessed. God loves you. Yes, you!
SAY THIS: Lord Jesus, thank You for Your Love. As I study the Word and
spend time in prayer, I discern Your Love more by the day. Amen
