ephesians 3:15-21 "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 HIEGHT; 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."


The Love of God is wide...it is wide enough to bridge the broken relationship between the most sinful of men, and The God who is Perfect above all imaginations and fantasy.

The Love of God is Long...it is Long enough to stretch from before the creation of the universe, to the furthest reaches of eternity.

The Love of God is deep, it is deep enough to Reach from the highest of Heavens, to the depths of the earth and rescue the Lost and forsaken.

The Love of God is High, it reaches High enough to take the lowliest and filthiest creature, and present Him without stain before the throne of God Most High.


Our Jesus stretched out His arms and reached from distant star to distant star and filed the universe with the Love of God the Father. He Loves us enough to come from the presence of God in eternity before creation, be born in a manger of animals, be raised as a common man, setting aside His glories until the appointed time. He Loves us enough to Know that His mission was the great suffering of the cross, for what each of us have done, being innocent of sin, yet carrying the wieght of the world upon His shoulders.

He bore Our insults, Our shame, our accusations He was spit on and beaten by the priests of His Fathers house, He was chained and led through jerusalem, He was handed over to gentiles and beaten with a reed, He was presented before His people flogged as a common thief. All they needed do was chant Jesus, Let Jesus go....He was forsaken for a known murderer as in His ears He heard them Cry " crucify Him! crucify Him!" this from those He healed and taught and picked up off the ground, those He saved from condemnation, those He came to Love.

He was led through the streets of His beloved jerusalem and was laid upon a crucifix, where He had Nails driven through His hands and feet, was lifted up and scorned, mocked and ridiculed, insulted and taunted until He finally suffocated under the wieght of Our sins.......


Jesus Christ has proven He Loves us, one by One and each and all, there is no question Jesus Loved us, He did His part to the extent required for salvation.........There is a time we all face in the christian walk that comes to a question. it is a question only you can ask and answer in a silent place. Do I Love Jesus Christ ? and would i lay down my Life for Him because of all He has given to me?

John 15:13-14 "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

God bless you , i hope that we are all able to come to a point when accepting the Word of Jesus, is as important as His blood and tears whatever path may lead us there

To describe his love... who has the words? His love is as an endless vast ocean that has no limits in how long and wide it is, it's depths knows no bounds and as one sinks in this vast and beautiful endless ocean they are overwhelmed by the wonders and beauty the see they are enveloped in it's waters as it flows all around them and all through out their entire being.
It's light is brighter than the sun yet one cannot look away from it's radiating beauty that it excludes, the awe and amazement one has when they encounter this strange light leaves them trembling and yet all they can do is have the biggest brightest smile and cry tears of utter joy and love for this light that is his love.

It is a blazing fire made of the colors of all the rainbows more vivid and more beautiful than any colors you would ever see in this life it's fire burns so intensely and so hot yet when one touches this fire made of burning colors they are filled with life and his power his heart and eyes and the very reason why this fire burns so strongly and so intensely is filled and infused deeply and endlessly into the child that it touches down to every cell within their body.

His love is as the wind that blows from every corner of the earth bringing with it a sweet aroma and and is cool like mint to the touch and blows inside and through out us filling us with it's embrace and filling us with his breath as if we have taken our first breath for the very first time, the wind that is is love is as a swirling tornado fierce and powerful yet we do not fear it rather we are drawn to it, we crave this wind we need this wind we are this wind.

There simply are no words to be able to describe his love

Knowing that, is ours returned from that knowledge is the ultimate question. If we know what Jesus did, we already grasp he loves us have to when he laid down his life to save us........the reality of the question is how do we respond to his perfect love. Do we trust his word of warning, encouragement, truth. Or would we rather not have to lay ourselves down as were taught By the love that is throughout his words. Warnings are meant to keep us safe explaining the dangers , like any good Father discipline and instruction doesn't mean God la is love, but it's proof that he does love us

for us,

The Word of Christ is summed up in '2' words for us, = Love for Him by our actions according to His Will,
and Love for Him in how we treat each-other...

The beginning point is fear and as we learn to trust, obey, be rewarded etc. fear is to be supplanted with love.....no one immediately loves God completely...we grow into this love and love is the ultimate show of maturity in Christ!

indeed, couldnt disagree with anything you said there thanks for that . considering Love casting out fear id just add a scripture about perfecting Love through walking in the Light of the gospel.

1 john 2:5 "But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. "

keeping His word alive in us is what makes us grow and perfect Love casts out fear.

also 1john 1:7. and really much of 1john works for us toward maturity and "perfecting" Gods Love in us for others. its setting such a high standard in order to keep us moving in the right direction. thanks for the addition dc.

we love your message, dc,

but, if we truly understand the scripture, OT-NT, we will ALWAYS FEAR our Maker,
the Giver and Taker of all we 'think' we possess...

Obviously...a reverential fear just as a son has for a loving father that will dicipline.....
