Ephesians 3:17-18 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.
These verses are part of Paul’s prayer which is a prayer we could pray over ourselves and our families every day, interspersing their names or our own to make it personal. So when we have the opportunity, as we read from verses 14-21, I believe the Lord will reveal to each one of us how real His love is for us.
He tells us that what keeps us strong is when we’re rooted and grounded in the sure knowledge that God loves us personally. So if we need more strength anytime, we can search out the verses on how much God loves us, or listen to a message on the love of God - not His judgement, or His requirements, they were all part of the Old Covenant. But His New Covenant is all about God’s supreme, sacrificial love for us and all He has done for us through the Lord Jesus.
1 John 4:10 This is real love - not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
If we take nothing else away from today’s Blog, remember that God loves you with an everlasting love, that knows no boundaries, that is vaster than the oceans and yet it reaches down to each and every one of us. All He asks of us is to believe His love and receive it, receive His forgiveness, His grace to transform us, all by the power of His love.
1 John 4:;16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
And we can be totally reassured by this too…‘God’s love never fails.’😊
