We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

What would it be like if everyone were rooted and grounded in love?



Paul speaks of having “boldness and access with confidence by the faith” of Christ. ( Ephesians 3:12)
I really like what he's saying here. If we through faith and experiences have a perfect knowledge that Christ lives then we can with boldness and confidence bear testimony to that fact.  
He goes on to say, “That he (Christ) would grant you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith,  that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length , and depth and height; and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:16-19)
So the more we learn the more there is to learn until we are rooted and grounded in love. If we continue in faith searching and learning we can know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge – that we are filled with all the fullness of God. What would it be like if everyone were rooted and grounded in Christ love?
Isn’t Paul's writing so beautiful that it does not need  commentary?   Go forward with faith rooted and grounded in love.
