AMY, “I bow my knees to THE FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that HE WOULD GRANT YOU, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to COMPREHEND with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to 1KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST which passes knowledge; that you may be FILLED with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that WORKS IN US…” (Eph. 3:14-20)
1ginōskō: knowledge grounded in personal experience, it is used to describe sexual relations between a man and a woman, therefore, it implies an intimate and very personal knowing. This is showing us that our love for Christ, our knowing Christ, is comprehending or intimately knowing the “width, length, depth and height” of His love for us.
