Why Love?

In this powerful message, we explore the fundamental concept of love as outlined in Paul's prayer from Ephesians 3:14-19. We learn that true love overflows from God above, grows as Christ dwells within us, and goes out to others. The scripture emphasizes that we can't manufacture God's agape love on our own; we must first receive it from Him. This requires making space in our hearts for Christ to truly dwell, not just visit. As we allow God's love to become our foundation, it transforms how we relate to others, moving us away from agenda-driven, judgmental, or fear-based relationships. We're challenged to experience the width, length, height, and depth of God's love, allowing it to overflow into our lives and the lives of others.
