The Christian’s blessing

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
Ephesians 1:3

The Christian’s blessing
All who believe in the Lord Jesus are richly blessed. Today’s Bible verse makes this clear to us:

1. The source of blessing is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In eternity, He made a plan to have people close to Him who are suited to Him and are in a happy relationship with Him. Thus, the Christian blessing springs from the heart of God. This gives it a high value.
2. This blessing has a spiritual character. It is not about material wealth or earthly joy but something enjoyed in the heart. For example, the fact that we are beloved children of the Father cannot be seen or touched, yet it is a blessing in which we can truly rejoice.
3. The sphere of blessing is the heavenly places. Thus, our blessings belong to heaven. We enjoy them now as those who have already been transferred positionally to the heavenly places. We will have the full enjoyment of them when we are glorified in heaven.
4. The security of Christian blessing is in Christ. In Him we have been made rich. The Lord Jesus so perfectly glorified His God and Father through the work of the cross that an immeasurable blessing now flows to us. Every spiritual benefit that we possess as believing Christians is assured to us in Christ.

Today’s reading: Ezekiel 46:1-24 · Psalms 147:11-20

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 3:18)

God in His grace has centered every blessing for us in Christ. Without Christ, we have nothing, nothing but our sins; with Christ we have all things, and therefore want nothing in addition to Christ. As...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
