0:00.0	The Bible makes it clear that if we want to truly understand the love of Jesus for his
0:29.3	own, we need to engage both our mind and our hearts. Today, on Truth For Life, we find out why
0:35.3	this is only possible through the enabling of the Holy Spirit. Alistair Begg is teaching from
0:40.7	Ephesians chapter 3. We're looking at verses 18 and 19.
0:45.0	Well, it's important when we study through a book like this, just to keep reminding ourselves of certain
0:56.8	truths that are important as we go along. We this morning reminded ourselves that Paul is writing to those
1:03.6	who are believing people to those who are in Christ. And we may have said in passing what I want
1:10.1	just to reinforce in beginning now, namely that these individuals who were now united in Christ had
1:17.8	previously been the very opposite of united. They had been separated from one another culturally and

2:13.5	grounded in love and how much they need the enabling of the Holy Spirit's strength in order to
2:21.6	live in the light of that truth so that their testimony to the watching world in Ephesus was the
2:28.8	difference that Jesus had made. And so he encourages them by way of their deep roots and by way of
2:36.0	their stable and solid foundations. They were being made aware of the fact that God's love
2:43.3	has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. And that is part
2:50.7	of the birthright of those who are in Christ. So having first prayed for them to be strengthened with
2:57.4	power in their inner being, he now prays that they may comprehend and know the love of Christ that
