Ephesians 3:19

Key Reflection

In Ephesians 3:19, Paul prays that believers might be strengthened to understand the fullness of God’s love and grace comprehensively. The imagery of “width and length and height and depth” (Ephesians 3:18-19) is drawn from Isaiah 40:22, where it describes the expansive nature of God’s creation. For Paul's original audience, this would have evoked a vivid picture of God’s comprehensive and boundless character, emphasizing that their understanding of divine love should encompass all dimensions of life—both temporal and eternal.
