God Has Everything You Need: Never Too Far from His Love

Scripture Text: Ephesians 3:14-21

Introduction:

Have you ever felt as though you were lacking something essential?

Maybe you’ve felt distant from God, wondering if He’s still there or if He cares about your needs.

Today, I want to assure you of this truth: God has everything you need.

Whether you need peace, guidance, or hope, our Heavenly Father is not far off, and His love is ever-present to rescue, redeem, and restore you.

Let's explore this through the rich and powerful words found in Ephesians 3, a prayer from the Apostle Paul that speaks to the depth of God's love and the fullness of His provision.

1. God’s Boundless Provision (Ephesians 3:14-16)

“For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being…”

Paul begins his prayer by reminding us of **God’s glorious riches**. These riches are not material but are far greater—spiritual strength, power, and divine provision. This is the God who has everything you need, not only in your physical life but in your spiritual journey.

God never lacks; He is the source of all strength.

- When you feel weak or inadequate, turn to Him. He provides power through His Holy Spirit, enabling us to face challenges, resist temptation, and live in His strength.

God’s riches are vast and never depleted. Whatever you need—comfort, strength, wisdom—He has it. Don’t hesitate to ask Him, as Paul does, for strength and power in your inner being.

2. Never Too Far from God’s Love (Ephesians 3:17-19)

"…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

One of the enemy’s greatest lies is that you are too far gone to experience God's love. But Paul’s prayer dismantles that lie. He prays that we might comprehend the immeasurable dimensions of Christ’s love—its width, length, height, and depth. God’s love is limitless!

- God’s love reaches to the farthest places, to the broken, the lost, and the hurting.

- Even when you feel unworthy or distant from God, His love pursues you.

- You can never fall too far, wander too far, or sin too far that God’s love cannot reach you.

Paul wants you to know this love that surpasses human understanding. When you are filled with God’s love, it transforms your heart, your mind, and your life. God’s love restores what is broken, heals what is wounded, and redeems what seems lost.

3. God Rescues, Redeems, and Restores (Ephesians 3:20-21)

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

God’s ability to rescue, redeem, and restore is beyond what we can even comprehend. Paul ends his prayer by proclaiming that God can do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.”

- God rescues us from our sin, from darkness, from the power of the enemy.

- God redeems our brokenness. He takes what is shattered and brings beauty from the ashes.

- God restores our relationship with Him, our hope, and our future.

When we bring our broken pieces to Him, God does more than just put us back together—He restores us fully and abundantly. He goes beyond our expectations, because His power is at work in us.

Trust in God’s Provision and Love

You may feel like you are in a place of need today—perhaps spiritual, emotional, or physical. But be encouraged: God has everything you need. You are never too far from His love, and His hand is always ready to rescue, redeem, and restore.

Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 reminds us of the depth of God’s love and His ability to work in our lives in unimaginable ways. Let us trust in Him, knowing that He is the source of all we need. As we grow in faith and in the knowledge of His love, we will see His power at work in us and through us, doing immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine.
