REVELATION OF JESUS LOVE


Our Text taken from Ephesians 3:14 to 19

Here Paul was emphasizing on the love of Christ.  Paul was not praying for the love for God – he prayed for the Revelation of God’s love upon the Christians there.  As a result, that they would be “filled with all the fullness of God.”  This includes His blessings, peace, joy, love and divine character, etc… 

Yes, unless we realize how much God love us not only good things happen to us – the floodgate of His blessings will open wide.  And all kinds of good things begin to happen around you.  Salvation of your family will happen, miracles will happen, things that never happen will happen.

First John 4:16-18   points out that we should be conscious of God's love. It needs to be more than just a biblical fact for us…we need to experience it daily.
Keep a record of what God has done for you and you will be conscious of His Gracious Love. This process will help you to become more conscious of His love.  You find out that the love of God is the cure for  insecurity. It’s a cure for the hurts and broken- heart.  It consoles and soothes the mind, soul and spirit.

God’s love is non judgmental.  It is personable. 
 It relates to everything and situations in life. God’s 
 love is sacrificial and unconditional and it is beneficial
 to all. We can get drunk in the love of God. 
 David says, “your loving kindness is better than life,” 
 Song of Solomon says, “your love to me is better
 than wine.”  It is an intoxicated love.

God wants us to wake up to eat, enjoy and to breathe his love daily.  He says, “I love you with an everlasting love”.  God says, “My love for you is very real and personal and you will be intoxicated with my love.

Jude 21 – says give instruction to believers at the end times – “Keep yourself in the love of God”. Keep yourself in the conscious enjoyment of God’s love for you. That’s why John can write his epistle for us today.  How many knows that God love all of us? But not all of us could enjoy that love or aware of that love for us.  Our growth in God are growth in that love, we don’t grow in getting God love us more but in understanding how much God love us – we grow up and rooted and grounded in His love.  The more you experience His love the more you will grow as a Christian.

I John 4:16 – “And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love and he that dwell (abides) in love, dwells (abides) in God and God in him.”
It is one thing to know and another to believe the love that God has for us. As we know God’s love we see boldness and faith arises and releases in us daily.

But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.  (I Corinthians 13:13)
Most commentators have supposed that Paul is speaking here only of this life, and that he means to say that in this life these three exist; that "faith, hope, and charity exist in this scene "only," but that in the future world faith and hope will be done away, and therefore the greatest of these is LOVE". The Love of Christ is eternal and forever and ever.
