Knowing the love of Christ is what leads to us be filled God's life and power. Ephesians teaches me to live in his love, submit to it and speak according to it, this is what commands the power to live for God and resist the devil. If there is any secret to having God in us, to having the power of God at work in us, then it is our knowledge of what the love of Christ is.

Eph.3.16 - 19
I pray God strengthens you with power through His Spirit within you, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; so that you become rooted and grounded in love, being able to understand with all God's people the greatness and to know the exceeding knowledge of the love of Christ so that you may be full of God.

In Ephesians 1, Paul prays for the believers to receive the Spirit of wisdom and come to know and to understand God's promises and power because there is something this revelation from God does in us. So Paul continues the prayer in chapter 3 of his letter, that we may come to know and understand God's love in accepting us and for us to know God's plan, that through us, the church, God would reveal His wisdom to the principalities and powers according to His plan carried out through Jesus Christ.

And the only way for us to be full of God, to have boldness, and to be full of God's life and power is by how much we know and understand God's plan and His love for us through Christ.

You see the purpose of the power is to bring about our unity and the fruit of the spirit and that we in turn tell others about Jesus, about the knowledge of God's son.

Eph.4.11 - 15
He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ. Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth.
Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.


The rest is worth reading of things we are not expected to do as children of God and followers of Jesus Christ. Especially in what we say, immorality, anger, greed, lust and love for the things of the world things we are to have repented and follow Jesus. With a warning to ignore those who fool others that greed or worldly desires are okay. Instead Paul calls such people, who are covertous, idolaters who won't inherit God's Kingdom. Jesus said if we love him we would obey him, so we forsake all those things to follow him.

So as ministers our job is to preach God's way and teach you the truth in love, while praying that you come to know and understand it, so that you live life the way God wants and not be tossed into confusion by various different teachings and principles that go against hard work and honesty, packaged in ways that makes one more focused on what pleases them and what they want rather than God.

Eph.5.10-11Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them.

A knowledge and understanding that brings us complete and perfect submission to God.

Eph.5.24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything.

As we see, the example wives are to follow is our lives as believers which is expected of us that we submit to Jesus in everything. Not just submitting when it pleases us or goes accordingly to what we want and desire.

For if we are full of the Spirit and speak from the spirit our words and deeds would be true and reveal the love of God, what we say would agree with what Jesus said and says. And until we submit completely to God and put on His armor, we cannot and would not be able to resist the devil whom we should continually resist. When we desire things without seeking not submitting to God's will, we put ourselves at a disadvantage of resisting the devil.

So what is this love that you have to know;


Eph.1.3-14

How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ. Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the one(Jesus) he loves.


In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

God's secret plan has now been revealed to us; it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure. And this is his plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ--everything in heaven and on earth.

Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. God's purpose was that we who were the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God. And now you also have heard the truth, the gospel(Good News) that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.


If you do not understand this, then please ask, for to know this and to understand this love, is to have God's power. For this is the love of God through Christ that saves even little children.

God bless.

I know what the scriptures says concerning Jesus.

I will like to see your definition of God.
I will also like to see what makes God, God in your eyes🤨!!!

So far, you have been avoiding my direct questions🤨!!!

Let's see your ontological definition of God!

Side Note, All what the scriptures above prove is the Godship and Lordship of Jesus!!!

didn't you sin the definition of God. He has just showed you who God is and you are asking questions.

That's not the definition, I seek.
I want his ontological or epistemological definition of God!

He himself knows, that's why he is evading.

Whatsoever definition you use for the Father the son fits nicely too!!!

And he is aware of this, also the implications of this to his biblical stance of reducing the son to nothing more but a "tool" — A gsm phone for communication!—is rather burdensome!!!

Let him speak for himself!!!

be asking ontological and grammatic questions, what is sure is that God is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

delkuf:

That's a fact!
What he disproves is the Godship of Jesus!

As far as he is concerned, Jesus is just a son!
At best a Lord🤣🤣🤣.

Do you see where am getting to with this? 🤨

That's why I have asked him for his own definition!!!

He thinks the men present in the council of Nicaea were fools🤔 that they didn't ponder on the philosophical, logical and theological implications of the Godship of Jesus! 🤔

Once more, let him answer!

John.5.39 "You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!
John.5.46 But if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me because he wrote about me.
Deut.18.15 "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites, and you must listen to that prophet.
Deut.18.19 I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf.
