Ruling Verse 2: Filled with All of God

Ephesians 3:17-19
	I pray that Christ might dwell inside your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded inside of love, might be fully able to seize hold of, to comprehend together with all the devoted ones, what is the breadth and length and height and depth [the full extent of God], and to know even more the surpassing, beyond-all knowledge of the love of Christ, that you might be filled full with all the fullness of God.
	Paraphrased and Expanded: Christ Jesus lives inside each one of your hearts, in Person and for real, through His own Faith now shared with you, regardless of any outward human judgment. You are rooted into and grounded upon a God who is Love, as soil and as rock. Inside of that Love, together with others devoted to God, you search out to comprehend the breadth and length and height and depth, the full extent and meaning of God. In doing so, you come to know even more the surpassing beyond-all knowledge of the Love of Christ inside yourselves and for one another, that you, individually and as one House together, might be FILLED to capacity with ALL the FULNESS of God.

Gospel Comments	Notes
• Christ Made Personal: Jesus lives in my heart. I am rooted and grounded inside of Love. I am filled with all the fulness of God. God fills His House, my devoted brethren and I together. • Defining the Rule: God fills His House with all of His Fulness, with ALL that He is. Even as Jesus builds us together for God inside of Himself, so also, God sent Christ Jesus into us that we might know the Father. Christ lives inside of our hearts through faith, through knowing that He does, regardless. God is Love, and we are rooted and grounded inside that Love individually and together. Inside that Love, inside of Jesus, we have a task to do together, the task of comprehending the Father, His full extent of meaning and reach. This knowing of our beyond-all Love of Jesus for one another prepares us to be filled with all the fulness of God, as individuals and as His House together. • Life: Knowing the Father is age-unfolding LIFE (see John 17:3). For God to be known, He must have a created Form in which to dwell. That Form is the expressed love of Christians for one another. This Temple, then, is God-Life for all. • Covenant: “Christ lives inside your heart through faith” is the essence and meaning of the New Covenant. • Speak Christ: There is no more important confession of faith than to say, over and over, “God, my Father, You fill me with all that You are.” It is for this purpose that Jesus lives in our hearts, that we might KNOW God-with-us. In the night watches, in the hard and lonely places, say, “God, my Father, You fill me with all that You are,” until you know that it is True, until you know that God shares all with you. • Ruling Verse 1: God’s set-forth Purpose, accomplished inside of Jesus, is to have for Himself a dwelling place inside creation, a Form, that He might be known. It is many brethren, just like Jesus, who are that image of God through their great Love for one another. God’s determination is expressed as the Zeal of Jesus inside of us for that House. • Ruling Verse 2: Ruling Verse 2 is the definition of the human. God designed us for Himself; He custom built us to fit God, to be compatible with Himself. He crafted even our weakness to be FILLED to capacity with all that He is. Because God is Love, that House must also be our togetherness, our Love for one another in daily life together. God filling His House is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and our life together as Communities of Christ is the meaning of that Feast. • Ruling Verse 3: Ruling Verse 3 is the second part of our definition as humans, that God created us as His image, that all would know God through the Rivers of Life and Love flowing out from us. The full release of the River of Life is the Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, the final result of the Feast. • Ruling Verse 4: The Power and the Kingdom are out from God, yet they come through the authority of Jesus now given to us. We must know God with us for the sake of the Church before that power flows to protect the gathering together. • Ruling Verse 5: This great Treasure of all of God filling us full comes to us only inside of Jesus. It is our weakness that God fills, our human flesh, that the Glory might be God and not any boasting in ourselves. Thus the Rivers flowing out carry to all the same precious intimacy of union with Christ Jesus. • Ruling Verse 6: The task of apprehending all that is God for ourselves is a task we must do together. We are able to do such a thing in full assurance of faith, because we KNOW that Jesus has carried us fully into Love. • Ruling Verse 7: God fills our life together as the Church because we are confident together that He does so. We know that the knowledge of God goes out from us into every place. Ruling Verse 8: Love is as the earth; we are grounded upon the Rock; we are rooted deep into the Soil that is God. Nothing can be real in our lives except we know this Love into which Jesus has placed us. But as we comprehend God together, we discover a Love that is even more than we can imagine, we know the Love of Jesus for one another, we know Love as all our interactions together, God among us. • Ruling Verse 9: God subjected creation to vanity only because of His great Hope that Jesus would craft the Church into His dwelling place, that through the Church, He might be made known to all. We are built together as the dwelling place for God for Father’s sake, that God might receive all created things back into Himself, that the knowledge of God would set creation free through our Love for one another. • Ruling Verse 10: Jesus Himself constructs us together as God’s house inside Himself, the same Jesus who dwells inside each of our hearts, sent by God. His purpose is that God be known and glorified, that God might be acknowledged as God by all. For this reason, we clothe, not just ourselves with the Lord Jesus, but especially all our brethren, the entire Church of Christ, the entire House of God. • Kingdom: Three things are found in-between Jesus Sent into us and knowing that we are filled with all of God. Those three things are being rooted and grounded inside of Love, comprehending God together, and discovering the beyond-all Love of Jesus for one another that we now possess. This Love, in all its varied meanings, is the Pattern by which all creation is ordered, the Form of God being Himself inside creation. • The Form for God through Jesus: We are for God. The gathering together of the Church is for God, that He might have a dwelling place, a Form inside creation, that God might be known by all. God filling His House with all of Himself (see 2 Chronicles 5 & 7) is Salvation now come; it is the only answer for everything. Being filled with all the fulness of God, individually and together, must rule our every thought.
