Ephesians 3:14-21 – Filled to Overflowing
Written by: Pastor Paul Georgulis
“14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.” – Ephesians 3:14-21 (New International Version)
It seems as if Paul is concluding his letter here, but there are still three chapters to go in his letter to the Ephesians. He was actually wrapping up the first three chapters of the letter—chapters focused on God’s love and plan for the world. Beginning in chapter four, Paul shifts his attention to the specific lifestyle changes God desires for His followers.
In these verses, Paul prays that the Ephesian believers—and us—would be filled to the point of overflowing with the fullness of God (verse 19). This doesn’t mean that we will be able to fully comprehend God. That would actually be impossible. What it does mean, however, is that God has all of us. And if God has all of us, His Spirit permeates our minds, hearts, and souls like water flooding in and covering everything—nothing remains untouched by His love.
When we get a taste of Jesus’ genuine love for us, we will want it to fill every aspect of our lives. This is a daily process of surrendering to Him and opening new doors so that His love can become the dominant influence in everything we think, say, and do.
Paul ends this chapter with—in my opinion—one of the most powerful benedictions in all of Scripture. This benediction will be our prayer for today.
Prayer
“20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.”
