NASB | Ephesians 3:19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 3:19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God's presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]. |
Subject: Knowiing God's love. |
Bible Note: According to this verse and the greek word here is ginosko which means to perceive understand be certain etc. we can not only experience God's love as the world does but we can intimately know the Love of God as a husband intimately knows his wife. That is exactly what Paul is praying here for believers and what we all should pray daily.It would settle all the doubts and fears we have about our place in God and this world. I'll say it again Behold what manner of Love! Check it out we already have the ablity to tap into the wisdom of God and to Know what he knows and to understand what he understands partially now,but one day fully. I believe that the more we allow God to fill us with His Anointing and His Presence we will have the experience Paul said in Ephesians 3:19 and Colossians 2:2,3. It is this very treasure that was the reason Paul experienced such conflict and oposition and anyone grasping this truth today. Whenever I am challenged with understanding or accepting and believing any principle I do what Paul says to do in Philippians 3:13-15 It isn't always easy because my flesh wants to stay in a comfort zone. Oh but my inner man longs for and craves for the more of Him. |
