Bible Note: You are right. But to take this one step further, I pray with Paul the prayer in Ephesians 3:15-21. In this prayer we see that Paul prays in v.16,17 to be strengthened with power THROUGH (by) HIS SPIRIT in our inner man that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith, and in v.19, that we may be able TO KNOW the love of Christ which surpasses all knowledge. The love of Christ is perfect love and will cause us to love God and our neighbors as we should by the power of the Holy Spirit and therefore obey Christ. InHisLove, Hans |
