Breadth Length Depth Height

Ephesians 3:18
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
This concept is of such magnitude that I wonder if anyone would ever really be able to plumb all the dimensions of the glories of the Lord.

Gill says, "…the love of God, which in its length reaches from one eternity to another;
in its breadth to all the elect, in all ages, places, and nations; and in its depth to saints in the lowest state of life; and in its height to bring them to an exalted state in glory."

This is likely the sum of seeking Him; to search out
The breadth of God's love in saving the lost
The length of God's love as enduring forever
The depth of God love to reach to the lowest sort and
The height of God's love to prepare for them a mansion in heaven
