Daily Walk Through the New Testament
December 27
Read Ephesians 3:8-4:16

The power of God and understanding Christ’s love is necessary for spiritual maturity. Paul prayed that God would enable believers “to comprehend” and “know the love of Christ which passes knowledge” (vs. 18-19). We need the Holy Spirit to help us grasp the vastness of God’s love. God extends His love through Christ to all of humanity. He reaches down to sinners and lifts them to heavenly places.
The ability to grasp Christ’s love results in being “filled with all the fullness of God” (3:19). In other words, the Spirit enlightens us and empowers us to grow into the image of Christ.
Pray that you would mature spiritually by understanding God’s love for you in Christ more deeply. Ask God to help you conform to Christ’s image and imitate Him daily.
