Ephesians 3:14-21 is a prayer for spiritual strength. It follows Paul’s discourse on doctrine and precedes his section on practical application. Paul knows the believer can live with a head full of knowledge and a shriveled heart. He also knows trying to live the Christian life in our own strength is futile. So, after the doctrine discourse and before the practical application section, Paul prays that our inner being will be filled with Jesus.

Paul’s prayer has four requests:
• Spiritual Strength (Eph 3:16)
• Deeper Experience with Jesus (Eph 3:17a)
• Grasping God’s Great Love (Eph 3:17b-19a)
• Experiencing the fullness of God (Eph 3:19b)

Today’s Focus: Experiencing the fullness of God (Eph 3:19b)

What is the fullness of God (the Greek word—pleroma)? The fullness of God is the totality of everything God is—his completeness, wholeness, power, and perfection. It includes all his attributes—eternality, omniscience, omnipresence, love, etc. The fullness of God describes the totality of who he is.

The fullness of God: Passages to Consider

• Colossians 1:19; 2:9-10
• John 14:15-20
• John 1:14, 16
• John 4:13-14

The fullness of God is in Christ, and Christ lives in us. Only through Jesus can we be made complete.

“When a person is born again into the family of God, he is born complete in Christ. His spiritual growth is not by addition, but by nutrition He grows from the inside out.”
-Warren Wiersbe

How can a believer experience the fullness of God? Here are three specific TBC applications.

1. Daily engagement with God through his Word and prayer.
The Bible is God’s love letter to you. It’s your spiritual nourishment. Engaging with Scripture. There is no substitute. You can sign up for daily devotionals at ronmoore.org.

2. Sign up for Living Grounded.
Living Grounded is a 12-session study that will help you get started in the life-long process of spiritual growth. You can sign up for a class at biblechapel.org/livinggrounded.

3. Teach Living Grounded.
Preparing to teach and teaching allows you to understand and own the truth. To learn more about teaching the Living Grounded material, contact [email protected].

• Experiencing the Fullness of God (Eph 3:19b)

Today’s Focus: Grasping God’s Great Love (Eph 3:17b-19a)

Grasping God’s love begins with grasping the work of Jesus.

• Through the work of Jesus, we have redemption and forgiveness (Eph 1:7)
• Through the work of Jesus, we have been brought near to God (Eph 2:13)
• Jesus “gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God” (Eph 5:2).

Grasping God’s love begins with grasping the work of Jesus and reflecting on the characteristics of God’s love.

• God’s love for us is eternal (Eph 1:3-6)
• God initiates his love for us (Eph 2:1, 4-6)
• God’s love for us is free (Eph 2:8-9)
• God’s love for us is guaranteed (Eph 1:13-14)

Our Spiritual Identity is rooted and grounded in God’s love.

In Christ, we are S.S.A.F.E.

• Significant: Ephesians 1:3-5a
• Secure: Ephesians 1:13-14
• Accepted: Ephesians 1:5
• Forgiven: Ephesians 1:7
• Empowered: Ephesians 1:13-14

Today’s Focus: A Deeper Experience with Jesus (Eph 3:17)

In Christ, we are:
• Significant
• Secure
• Accepted
• Forgiven
• Empowered

In Ephesians 3:14-17a, Paul prays that the believer may be “strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith….”

Positionally, Jesus lives in us. The Holy Spirit—the third Person of the Trinity—is the Spirit of the Father and the Son and takes up residence in our hearts. Jesus lives in us through the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-20; Romans 8:8-11).

In this prayer, Paul addresses the experience of that reality. “Dwell” means “to live or dwell in a place in an established or settled manner.” It means settling down and feeling at home. Paul’s prayer is for the believer to experience the fullness of Jesus in us.

Some questions for evaluating our “experience” with Jesus:

Is Jesus “at home” with my EYES? (Luke 11:34-36; Ps 119:37)

Is Jesus “at home” with my THINKING? (Phil 4:8)

Is Jesus “at home” with my AMBITION? (Phil 2:3-8)

Is Jesus “at home” with my TONGUE? (Ps 34:12-14; 39:1)
