JESUS Is Love

—An excerpt from the book “Deeper” by Dane Ortlund / Blog post by Marina from the Church Girl Sisterhood.

“…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.”

(Ephesians 3:17-19)

Jesus Christ loves you. The living God loves you! He is love—perfect love.

You may have heard this before, and it might not stir much within you. But take a moment to reflect on it.

The love of Jesus is not just an abstract concept; it is a truth embodied in Him—in His words, His actions, and His sacrifice.

In Ephesians 3:16-19, Paul encourages us to grasp the “breadth, length, height, and depth” of Christ’s love—not merely as a theory but as a lived experience.

What is the goal? To be filled with all the fullness of God. We do not need to earn or achieve this love; it is God’s nature to give.

Our task is to open our hands and our eyes, allowing Jesus to surprise us with His love.

He never grows weary of loving us—again and again, always in new ways. That’s why He created you: to love you.

Love,
