Inner Strengthening
Inner Strengthening
Have you ever considered your spiritual walk with Jesus as being essentially connected to God's glory in the church? On Sunday, we saw how God uses dead materials and makes them alive, uniting them by Jesus' blood into a structure that beholds his wisdom to the heavenly beings. His Church, by his Grace, is His Glory revealed. Wow! That is my prayer for us that we would stare long and hard at the beauty of God's love toward us because this is how we experience God's fullness. So, I've been praying with Paul this week for you...
“14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. ”
Are you weak to comprehend the love of Christ? (v18)
How is the comprehension of Christ's love strengthened corporately (with the saints)?
When have you seen the church glorifying God through loving one another?
Making home together,
