Our spiritual foundation is the love of God

As God's children we have been renamed or adopted into his family.  When you have the name of the family head that you have been adopted into, that means that you get all of the privileges associated with that new family name.  The reality of that makes our heart leap for joy.  As God's child we get all of the privileges and inheritance that is associated with that adoption.  But with that adoption we are also provided what we need for the foundation of our spiritual life, which is the love of God.  It says in Ephesians 3:17 [portion] "...that you, being rooted and grounded in love,..."  As God's children it is essential that we have as our spiritual foundation the love of God.  Because the love of God enables us a working knowledge of his word, affords us greater understanding, passes knowledge through to us, and will enable us to experience more of of his fullness or presence in our lives.
