TO KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD

Photo provided by Teresa Bruce Gross

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, 

is this grace given, that I should preach among 

the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

And to make all men see what is the fellowship 

of the mystery, which from the beginning of the 

world hath been hid in God, who created all 

things by Jesus Christ:  To the intent that now 

unto the principalities and powers in heavenly 

places might be known by the church the 

manifold wisdom of God,  According to the 

eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ 

Jesus our Lord:  In whom we have boldness 

and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at 

my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

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 passeth knowledge, that ye 

might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think, 

according to the power that worketh in us,

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus 

throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 3:8-21
