The Enthusiastic Church

Part 3

When I think of the greatness of this great plan, I fall on my knees before God the Father from whom all fatherhood, earthly or heavenly, derives its name, and I pray that out of the glorious richness of his resources, he will enable you to know the strength of the spirit’s inner reinforcement—that Christ may actually live in your hearts by your faith. And I pray that you, firmly fixed in love yourselves, may be able to grasp with all Christians how wide and deep and long and high is the love of Christ—and to know for yourselves that love so far beyond our comprehension. May you be filled though all your being with God himself! Now to him who by his power within us is able to do far more than we ever dare to ask or imagine—to him be glory in the Church through Jesus Christ forever and ever, amen!

Ephesians 3:14-21 (J.B. Phillips New Testament)

…and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (RSV)

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:10 (NIV)

I can be deeply rooted and securely grounded in the vastness of Jesus’ love.

Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

Mark 2:5 (NLT)
