Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

The love of God is so huge. It is far reaching and towers over us. It is far greater than anything we will ever be able to fully comprehend in this mortal life. But, to even begin to comprehend it, we must be given the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38), which reveals these great truths to us (1 Corinthians 2:10, John 14:26, Hebrews 6:4).

There are four aspects to Gods love for His chosen people. It has length, width, and depth, which are obvious measurements of obejcts of mass, that we use every day. The fourth apsect is also a measurement of every day objects. That measurement is endurance, or how long it will last. This apsect of Gods love, like the other three aspects, is also beyond our ability to fully comprehend in this life.

Even though, it is by the gift of the Holy Ghost, that we are able to know the things of God, we are limited in our knowledge, by our ability to comprehend what the Spirit reveals to us. We must be open to the teachings of the Holy Ghost, and at the same time gaurd ourselves against imaginations of the carnal mind.
