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).
