Scripture

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

Ephesians 1

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

Observation

Are you blessed? If you are a Christ Follower then you are very blessed; in fact you have been blessed with every spiritual blessing, that’s right every one of them. And so we don’t lack a thing, in Christ we have everything. He has even lavished on us all wisdom and understanding. In Christ we have the forgiveness of sins and we have been adopted into His Heavenly family as sons. As sons we get to enjoy everything that our Father has and He has it all. So, are you living like you are the child of the King today? Think about it, there is not one thing you lack today. We have it all. Did you notice these words in Ephesians 1:3-10, “blessed us”, “with every spiritual blessing”, “blameless in his sight”, “freely given to us”, “He lavished on us”, “His good pleasure”, “according with the riches of God’s grace”? We are blessed.


Application

I will live out this day meditating on the truth that God has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in Christ and I don’t lack one thing to accomplish His will today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for adopting me as your son. Thank you for providing for me everything that I need. I am so blessed. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. You are worthy to be praised. Thank you for what you are doing through our missionaries as they speak to our church during our conference. Continue to do a mighty work through them today. Amen.
