To Know Him Is To Love Him

My faith is not just a religious call to morality, but an active, deepening experiential knowledge of Him and His love. Out of that experience comes the desire for obedience to Him and a desire to please Him. Some may call that my religion. I call it my relationship with Jesus.

Ephesians 3:17-19
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide, how high, how long and how deep is the love of Christ and to know [by experience] this love that surpasses knowledge [head knowledge] that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
