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; Read through verse 14).
Praise is due to the One who has blessed us with all good things! First and foremost among those good things are the spiritual blessings we have in Christ. In Christ we are God's chosen to be holy and blameless. In Christ it was predestined that we would be adopted as sons of God. In Christ we are redeemed, our trespasses being paid for, and we are forgiven. We know the mystery of God's will in that all things are summed up in Christ. In Christ we are not like orphans, we have an inheritance of hope and the Holy Spirit, who is the pledge of that inheritance.
You might say, "Yes, we have all these spiritual blessings, but how does that help me to put a roof over my head and buy groceries for my family?" We will discuss that tomorrow.
Grace & Peace,
Tom
