Surpass is exceed a marked limit, going beyond what is needed. For example, if you pour more liquid than a container can hold, the liquid that does not fit spills. So, we say that you surpassed the amount of liquid that could be put into that container. The love of God exceeds all knowledge, all science, all human understanding, and that love is that God wants us to be overflowing.
The love of God surpasses all knowledge, and this is more than true, because if we reflect on that we understand that God has poured out His love for us without deserving it. He has loved us with such a sublime love that we were amazed at that.
Augustine said:
“God loves each of us as if there was only one of us, so we should worship God as the only true God.”
This is the simple truth, God as father loves us with great dedication, does not forget His love for any of us, has the same exact quantity of time for each one of us, His love surpasses all knowledge.
The apostle Paul wrote:
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
18 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,
19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19
What is love? Love is not something that can be defined simply with a dictionary or in any way, the love of truth is God, who sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins when we were lost. God did not ask for anything in return, but justified us when we were completely condemned, this is the love of God that exceeds all knowledge!
We pray to God to keep us full of this fullness in Him, that we never forget what He has done for us and that we can similarly speak to the world of that love of God that exceeds all knowledge.
