Knowing God Changes Everything

Main Idea: The closer you are to someone, the less likely you are to misunderstand their heart, their motives, or their character. And Paul is saying the same is true with God. The more deeply you know Him, the more clearly you begin to see everything else.

Ephesians 1:15-23
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the
saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in
the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is
the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19
and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the
working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and
seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power
and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to
come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
