Ancient Words For Today - Ephesians 3:20

It is true that God is able to do, and frequently does, exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. But the full context of this passage reveals
much more about the depth of God’s love and His awesome purpose concerning His children who have trusted in Jesus. Here is the full context of this verse:

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you,
according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 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 breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the
love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,
world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21

Paul’s prayer for believers includes the following requests:
• That God will strengthen our spirit and make it mighty through His Holy Spirit who indwells each believer
• Christ will dwell in our hearts by faith
• We will become rooted and grounded in Love
• We will be able to grasp and experience how wide and long and high and deep the love of Christ is for us
• And that we might be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God

It is God’s will and purpose that each believer become like His Son Jesus: For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed
to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29

Each believer is an ongoing work of God in progress. The end result, when God has completed His awesome work in each believer, is that we will be
transformed into the likeness of His Son, Jesus!! Let’s rejoice in this, thank Him, give Him our praise, and lovingly serve Him each day! AMEN!
