Phillippians Prayer: Love and Knowlege

Verse 9-10 (NIV) :
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,

In this post, I want to focus on verse 9 and the theme that "your love may abound more and more in knowlege". I believe that Paul is saying here that our love must be overflowing. Not only that be connnected and accompanied by knowlege. With Knowlege we are able to make moral discernment. Pauls prayer for them must be that their love would lead them to a fuller and deeper knowlege of the Christian Gospel. Does the love we have lead us to desire to grow closer to the Lord?
