"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ROOTED and grounded in LOVE, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the LOVE of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

~Ephesians 3:14-21

~A New Commandment: TO LOVE EACH OTHER~

“The time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory, and God will be glorified because of him. And since God receives glory because of the Son, he will soon give glory to the Son. Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can’t come where I am going. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that 
you are my disciples.”
~John 13:31b-35

"For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard."
~Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."
~Romans 6:23

"But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."
~Romans 5:8

“The message is very close at hand;
it is on your lips and in your heart.”

And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 
~Romans 10:8b-10

Is Jesus knocking on your heart's door?

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in..."
~Revelations 3:20a
