Rooted And Grounded In Love

A believer's life may be truly Christian and yet far from fully Christian. In some, Christ is just present, in others He is prominent, and in others He is pre-eminent.

Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breath, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

We can never hope to have an absolute and complete understanding of the breadth, length, depth, and height of God's love, but we can explore its measureless riches. Paul prayed that we may be filled with God's presence and power.

The Holy Spirit helps the inner man to live the Christian life so that we can grow in God's grace and develop into full Christian maturity.
