All The Fullness of God

“...and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” — Ephesians 3:19 (ESV)

To know the love of Christ is not merely to understand it intellectually—it’s to experience it so deeply that it changes the capacity of your heart. When you grasp how wide, long, high, and deep His love truly is, something happens inside of you. You are enlarged on the inside—made able to receive and contain more of God Himself.

Think about that: to be filled with all the fullness of God. What if our lives truly operated from that fullness within us? How different would our days look if we lived fully aware of His power, presence, and love working from the inside out?

This thought leads us directly to the next verse:
“Now to Him Who, by the power that is at work within us, is able to do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think…” — Ephesians 3:20 (AMPC)

That power within us—the Holy Spirit—flows from the foundation of knowing the love of Christ. The more we understand His love, the more room we give His power to move through us.

When I was a young man, I often doubted my future. Would my dreams ever come true? Would I marry, write, or produce films? Fear and discouragement boxed me in—until one day my uncle gave me a sermon by Joel Osteen on this very verse. As I listened, faith sparked inside me. I began to believe again that my dreams mattered because God loved me.

The revelation of Christ’s love isn’t just comforting—it’s transforming. When you know His love, you live from fullness, not emptiness. And that changes everything.
