The Dimensions of God's Love

Ephesians 3:12-21 “Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”

So many take for granted the great height that mankind fell from in original Sin. What great and marvelous communion, relationship and live was broken with our Creator Father God that separated each and every one of us from the intended daily love, joy and peace of fellowship with our just and holy Maker. The sinful flesh, the God-rejecting world, and the demonic realm of Satan (the unholy trinity) are constant reminders of how impossible for infinite mankind to reach the infinite by our own plans, power and effort. It is only by God’s loving plan of Salvation through justification in Jesus Christ dying on that Cross to pay for each of our Sins against Him that any can be forgiven, the spirit inside each of our hearts be regenerated alive, that our relationship with Creator God be restore with total access to the father again, adoption into God’s family as heaven-bound children, citizenship in the kingdom of God, brothers & sisters with Jesus in our hearts as Savior, and sanctification begins strengthening and empowering of our inner most being through the Holy Spirit, growing daily into the likeness of Christ, our Lord.

Rooting our life on the solid ground of righteousness, and building in knowledge and understanding of the foundational love of Christ that encompasses every dimension (length x width x height x depth) and area of life this side of heaven, that only comes from God to accomplish Him glorious will and way towards His perfect plans and purposes here today, being revealed to his church (the Believers, the saints in Christ) daily, that all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Praise, and honor and glory to our Father God in Heaven and to our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ!

In Christ, Brian
