What is the fourth dimension that Paul prayed believers would enter into?
The fourth dimension is knowing the love of Christ that goes beyond human knowledge, being filled with all the fullness of God. Paul prayed that believers would enter this spiritual dimension, which exceeds education and intellectual knowledge, so that they might know Christ in a way beyond mere human understanding.
Les explains that in response to the Apostle Paul's prayer, believers now have the potential to enter into a fourth dimension. In verse 19, that dimension is to know the love of Christ, which goes beyond knowledge. Les contrasts this with today's explosion of knowledge and technology, saying that knowing Christ is far better, because to know Him is beyond human knowledge. The result is being filled with all the fullness of God. He also illustrates this with Dwight L. Moody, who read a quote from a dying man of God who hoped to be used fully by God but felt he had failed; Moody then hoped to be that man.
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
What is the potential Paul's prayer says we can enter into?
The potential comes in response to the Apostle's prayer: to enter into a fourth dimension—to know the love of Christ that goes beyond knowledge and to be filled with all the fullness of God. This surpasses human education and technological knowledge; knowing Christ Himself is far better.
What does it mean that we can enter a fourth dimension and know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge?
Entering that fourth dimension means going beyond ordinary education and the explosion of human knowledge to know Christ, in response to the Apostle's prayer. It is knowing Christ's love that surpasses knowledge and being filled with all the fullness of God.
