1 | What is the "fullnes of God"? | Eph 3:19 | Makarios | 68871 | ||
Greetings Kiminhim, Here is a bit of commentary on this verse.. "3:19 ... filled with all the fullness of God. To be so strong spiritually, so compelled by divine love, that one is totally dominated by the Lord with nothing left of self. Human comprehension of the fullness of God is impossible, because even the most spiritual and wise believer cannot completely grasp the full extent of God's attributes and characteristics- His power, majesty, wisdom, love, mercy, patience, kindness, and everything He is and does. But believers can experience the greatness of God in their lives as a result of total devotion to Him. Note the fullness of God, here; the fullness of Christ in 4:13; and the fullness of the Spirit in 5:18. Paul prayed for believers to become as Godlike as possible (Matt. 5:48; 1 Peter 1:15,16)."

2 | What is the "fullnes of God"? | Eph 3:19 | kiminhim | 68919 | ||
Thanks, Makarios, This is the type of response I needed. Too often I think "I know" God. Then He goes and does something that completely blows my mind and I realize how incomprehensible He is, how little I know of Him. We humans are far to arrogant, we puff up so easily with the teeniest bit of knowledge. His patience and gentleness with us astounds me. Thanks for responding. kiminhim | ||||||
