Paul’s prayer for believers is that we know Christ’s love. Jesus loves us because God first loved us—He is love. God loved the world so much that He sent His only Son to die on a cruel cross, a sinless sacrifice paying the price for humanity’s sins.
Christ lives in the hearts of people who, by faith, invite
Him into their lives. Once rooted in the soil of God’s love, we find sustenance
for everything needed to thrive as believers, to grow and know God more. Though
our finite minds cannot understand the greatness of Christ’s love, we believe
by faith. Having yielded our lives to God, He fills our souls with Himself: “That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye being rooted and grounded in
love; and to know the love of Christ. . . that ye might be filled with all the
fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:17, 19). Being deep-rooted in Christ, firmly set in
Him, the fullness of God—all His attributes—are available resources for us to
live like Jesus. Thank You, Father!
