ACC ~ Ephesians 3 v18a

PETITION FOR FAITH, UNDERSTANDING AND LOVE. MARIUS VICTORINUS: Since he has taught that three things tend toward maturity in Christ—faith, understanding and love—he here brings them all into a brief compass. He is now praying that God will bestow all these gifts upon the Ephesians. Note the sequence he has followed: He spoke first of faith, “that you may have Christ dwelling in the inner man in your hearts through faith.” Now he speaks of understanding by saying “so that you may comprehend with all the saints the breadth, length and depth.” Again he adds with regard to love, “to know the love that surpasses knowledge.” EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 1.3.18-19.
