God willing, I will preach tomorrow from Ephesians 3:20-21. The text is the Apostle Paul's doxology concluding a prayer for the Church at Ephesus concerning greater knowledge of Christ or a fulness of God. He is not talking about a second blessing but a deeper comprehension of Christ through the Holy Spirit who is already at work in the believer. The apostle John called him the Spirit of Truth four times and says in chapter 16 that He will guide you into all truth. He also called Him the Comforter in John 14 and said He will teach you all things.
However, the ultimate intent of having a greater understanding of God is to give Him greater glory. The end of all things is the glory of God. The apostle says "through out all ages" or from generation to generation. Take your children to church. Let them hear the gospel of Christ. Go to church yourself. Every believer is nourished by the gospel. The old old story is never old.
