In Ephesians 3, Paul prays that every Christian will understand the magnitude of God’s love and that they will grow in their walk with Christ because of it.

In Ephesians 3, Paul uses that very expression in his profound prayer to God. Unfortunately, this expression has been often misunderstood and misapplied in Christian circles. But at its heart, being filled with the fullness of God means that we, as Christians, can enjoy living out the moral attributes of God.

The Bible often speaks of God’s people walking or growing in godliness or Christlikeness—that is, as Christians, we ought to be confirming our hearts and lives to the person of Jesus Christ.

At the end of Paul’s powerful prayer in Ephesians 3, he calls for the entire congregation to affirm together what he has rehearsed about the character of God in his prayer.

At the conclusion of the apostle Paul’s prayer to the Ephesians, he offers a wonderful doxology of praise and adoration to God the Father. Here, he calls all believers of all times to celebrate the profound character of God.
