What is meant by being rooted and grounded in love?

Answered in 1 source

Being rooted and grounded in love signifies a believers' deep foundation in the love of Christ, enabling them to withstand trials.

Paul uses the metaphor of being 'rooted and grounded in love' in Ephesians 3:17 to illustrate the strength and stability that come from understanding Christ's love. Just as a tree's roots provide nourishment and stability, being grounded in love anchors believers amidst life's challenges. This foundation allows individuals to comprehend the vastness of God's love, which equips them to face tribulations without losing faith. The concept emphasizes that love, particularly the love of Christ, should be the basis of their interactions with each other and their perseverance in faith.
