"and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."
Ephesians 3:19
The Bible is the greatest love story ever told. It tells us of the love of God who created us, created a beautiful world for us to live in, created everything we need and blessed us with abundance. It tells of the love of a heavenly Father who loves us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His own Son in order that we could dwell with Him eternally. (John 3:16)
God has placed within each of us the capacity for love and it is the greatest and most powerful emotion. Love motivates, inspires, forgives, is not selfish and never fails (1 Corinthians 13: 4-8). Jesus told us that the greatest commandments are first to love God and secondly to love others. Without a doubt the central theme of the Bible and thus for our lives, is love.
I love my husband and children with an immense love yet it does not compare to the love of Christ spoken of in Ephesians 3:19 which surpasses knowledge. God not only wants us to know this love but to be filled up to all the fullness of God. His love is beyond measure and I give thanks today for the love of Christ.
Listen to the words of Third Day in Love Song which speak of a love beyond measure.
Be blessed and give thanks!
