Measuring God’s Love
“that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:17-19 WEB)
There are different degrees of revelation about God’s love.
Most people believe that God is all-powerful and that He can do all things.
However many people feel that God is against them and out to punish them for their sins.
Some Christians believe that God has forgiven them through Jesus Christ, but that they have to deserve their blessings through their obedience by obeying the Law.
This means that they can fall in and out of God’s favor, depending on how they behave.
We need to get to that point whereby we believe that God always favors us, and that He has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
This is His love for us: through Jesus’ finished work at the cross, He is able to do what’s in His heart—to express His love for us righteously without any barriers in the way.
Width and length speaks of a range across different types and categories.
What is the width and length of God’s love?
Unlimited—you have been forgiven of every type of sin because Jesus took your punishment.
Height and depth speaks of the magnitude—how much or little of something.
The height and depth of God’s love is also unlimited, meaning you have been forgiven of every degree of sin, no matter how grievous or minor that sin was.
Even having this revelation, we still cannot fully comprehend His love for us because it surpasses knowledge. How perfect and amazing this love is.
Are you still exclusively calling Him God or Heavenly Father and telling yourself that you’re doing so for respect’s sake or to ‘hallow’ Him?
Actually you’re doing so because you still sense a distance from Him, like you’re just a servant with no right to approach Him at will.
“And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” (Galatians 4:6-7 WEB)
By receiving fresh revelation of His love, we can come to a place where we’re comfortable with calling Him “Abba God” (meaning daddy God”).
The closer you see yourself to Him, the easier it is to be in faith.
We are not following a religion—we have been born again into a loving family, and we can enjoy familial relationship with Abba God.
Meditate on the width, length, height and depth of His love for you, and see that you’ve been totally forgiven and you’re now totally righteous in Christ.
Abba God is not holding back any love or blessings from you.
You just need to believe and speak it forth—boldly receive as much as satisfies you!

“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
