Sermon Overview
This sermon focuses on the "breadth, length, depth, and height" of the love of Christ. Reidhead describes the "Breadth" as reaching to every nation, the "Length" as spanning eternity, the "Depth" as reaching the lowliest sinner, and the "Height" as raising the believer to the throne of God. He argues that this magnitude is "beyond knowledge" and can only be experienced through the Spirit.
Key Principles
Four Dimensions:Meditate on the Breadth, Length, Depth, and Height of love to expand your spiritual capacity.
Universal Reach: Use the "Breadth" of the Gospel as your motivation to reach every nation and culture.
Eternal Persistence:Rest in the "Length" of God’s love, knowing He has pursued you from eternity to eternity.
Extreme Condescension:Humble yourself in light of the "Depth" to which Christ descended to reach you.
Inner Man Experience:Ask the Spirit to "strengthen your inner man" so you can actually perceive this vast love.
Surpassing Knowledge:Accept that you will never fully "understand" God’s love; you must simply "experience" and enjoy it.
Filled with Fullness:Make being "filled with all the fullness of God" the ultimate aim of your spiritual life.
