The concept of "deeper" in a biblical context often refers to a more profound understanding, relationship, or experience with God and His Word. This idea is not explicitly mentioned as a single term in the Bible, but it is a theme that runs throughout Scripture, encouraging believers to seek a more intimate and comprehensive knowledge of God and His will.

Spiritual Depth and Understanding

The call to go deeper in one's spiritual life is echoed in several passages. In Ephesians 3:17-19, the Apostle Paul prays for the believers, "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of His love, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Here, the depth of Christ's love is something to be comprehended, suggesting a deeper understanding that goes beyond surface-level knowledge.

Deepening Relationship with God

The Psalms often express a longing for a deeper relationship with God. Psalm 42:7 states, "Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls; all Your breakers and waves have rolled over me." This verse poetically describes a profound yearning for God, where the depths of the psalmist's soul reach out to the depths of God's presence. This imagery suggests a deep, intimate connection with the Creator, one that is both overwhelming and fulfilling.

Wisdom and Knowledge

Proverbs 2:3-5 encourages believers to seek wisdom and understanding: "if you indeed call out for insight and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search it out like hidden treasure, then you will discern the fear of the LORD and discover the knowledge of God." The pursuit of wisdom is portrayed as a journey into deeper knowledge of God, requiring effort and dedication.

The Depth of God's Riches

Romans 11:33 exclaims, "O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!" This verse highlights the inexhaustible depth of God's wisdom and knowledge, inviting believers to continually seek and explore the vastness of His divine nature.

Deepening Faith and Maturity

The New Testament encourages believers to grow in their faith and maturity. Hebrews 5:12-14 admonishes those who have not progressed in their spiritual understanding: "For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food! Everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil." This passage calls for a deeper engagement with God's Word, moving beyond elementary teachings to a mature, discerning faith.

Conclusion

The biblical call to go deeper is an invitation to explore the vastness of God's love, wisdom, and knowledge. It is a journey that requires dedication, prayer, and a willingness to be transformed by the Holy Spirit. As believers seek a deeper relationship with God, they are encouraged to grow in understanding, maturity, and faith, continually drawing closer to the heart of their Creator.1571. ekkathairo -- to cleanse thoroughly
