Ephesians 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, [15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, [16] that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, [18] may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, [19] and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. [20] Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, [21] to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. 

Comprehending (appreciating/grasping/fathoming) the love of Christ releases us to glorify and enjoy God. 

• Starting with the right approach to God (14-16)   

• Seeking His strength for stronger faith (17)   

• Comprehending Christ’s love leads to knowing and trusting God deeply (18-19)
