‏ Ephesians 3:16-19

3:17  a Having Christ ... make his home in your hearts is the source of spiritual power for life and ministry (see John 14:16-17  b, 23  c; 15:4-5  d; Gal 2:20  e).
3:18  f how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is: Christ’s love is great in every dimension (cp. Rom 8:38-39  g).
3:19  h May you experience (literally know) the love of Christ: The whole Christian life is based on the experience and personal knowledge of God’s grace and love in Jesus Christ (see Rom 12:1  i).

• it is too great to understand fully: Christ’s love is much greater than ordinary human love (see Rom 5:6-8  j).

• The believer’s life is made complete when it is filled with all the fullness of life and power by the presence of Christ within (see Eph 1:23  k; Gal 2:20  l; Col 1:27  m). The believer then is conformed to his image and reflects God (see Eph 4:14  n, 24  o; 5:1-2  p; Rom 8:29  q; 2 Cor 3:16-18  r).
