A People Filled with God
Ephesians 3:14-21 records Paul's prayer for the Ephesians. This prayer reminds us that the church is not first and foremost a place, event, or religious organization. It is a people... a people in whom Christ dwells and who are growing deep in the love of God. The culmination of all of this is Paul's request that they be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3:14-21
14 For this reason I bend my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner self, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
