The Riches Of His Glory

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:14-21

Our lives are so short, but that does not mean the list of things we do for God has to also be short. Our lives should be bulging with things we have done to glorify God. What have you done with your life, no matter how short or long it is?

The journey of the Christian life on earth beings at the moment of faith in Jesus and ends when the believer goes on to be with the Lord.

A rich and full life is available to all who believe in and serve Jesus. The apostle Paul prayed that believers would be filled with everything good from God. He wanted them to know the abundant life Jesus would provide to those who would believe in Him.

God desires to give us a marvelous beginning with salvation and great ending in Glory – with much in between.

A life given fully to God

becomes a God-filled life.
