LOVE 3DLove 3D
Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser, Harvester Reformational Church, Cape Town
We have anchored our teaching on truth in Ephesians chapter three and here is one final look at the most amazing aspect of our Lord Jesus Christ – His love for us all!
Love
“If your share My love I will show My power
What’s the connection Lord?”
Love is so wide it provides a defense.
Love is so high is transcends realms.
Love is so deep it goes straight to the heart.

Faith works through love, and power works through faith.
Acts 3:16
And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Peter and John were known to have been with Jesus: relationship with Jesus is a source of boldness.
Acts 4:13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

Three Dimensions of Love’s Mystery Revealed – partake; see; comprehend.
Love allows participation.
Love opens vision.
Love enables comprehension.

1. Partake: He loves us as fellow heirs of His promises. Christ’s love reveals that Gentiles should be fellow heirs of the promises through faith.
Ephesians 3:5,6
Eph 3:5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:
Eph 3:6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

Interesting how apostle Paul had to explain to believers of his time:
Rom 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
In his time, this was a revolutionary statement, and it caused him much persecution. It’s like a declaration of independence in its magnitude and a liberation of slaves into full status as citizens.

2. See: He loves us till we see His Church overcome principalities. Christ’s love preaches this fellowship of the mystery through the Church to principalities and powers.
Eph 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Eph 3:9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;
Eph 3:10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,
Eph 3:11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,

3. Comprehend: He Loves us until we understand the fullness of His Body the Church. Christ’s love causes us to be rooted and grounded in love by faith, to understand with all the saints the love that unlocks the fulness of God.
Eph 3:17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—
Eph 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Then the apostle goes onto a further revelation through a release of blessing and favour in a prayer. It is based on the meditation on the love of Jesus. In another place he gives the key: faith works through love, when exploring a similar teaching about the promises of faith and how to access what Abraham and Sarah had:
Gal 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Gal 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

Are you ready for the eulogy to God that unlocks our prayers?
Eph 3:20 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 3:21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Now we can partake, see, and comprehend that His power is released by faith working through His divine love. Therefore, He can do exceedingly abundantly above what we can ask or think. That gives Him the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever!

Let’s continue experience and share His love in 3D and never go back to the shadow of love in 2D based only on outer laws. Now His laws are written in our hearts and minds by Christ Jesus’ fulness of faith working through love. Love in 3D!
