Spiritual Blessings are the key benefits of a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and are given by God Himself.
**********
Ephesians 1 lists some spiritual blessings. Note the highlights:
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Anointed One,
who grants us every spiritual blessing in these heavenly realms where we live in the Anointed—
not because of anything we have done, but because of what He has done for us.
God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world;
He wanted us to live holy lives characterized by love, free from sin, and blameless before Him.
He destined us to be adopted as His children through the covenant
Jesus the Anointed inaugurated in His sacrificial life. This was His pleasure and His will for us.
Ultimately God is the one worthy of praise for showing us His grace;
He is merciful and marvelous, freely giving us these gifts in His Beloved.
Visualize this: His blood freely flowing down the cross, setting us free! We are forgiven for our sinful ways by the richness of His grace, which He has poured all over us.
With all wisdom and insight, He has enlightened us to the great mystery at the center of His will.
With immense pleasure, He laid out His intentions through Jesus, a plan that will climax when the time is right as He returns to create order and unity—both in heaven and on earth—
when all things are brought together under the Anointed’s royal rule.
In Him we stand to inherit even more.
As His heirs, we are predestined to play a key role in His unfolding purpose
that is energizing everything to conform to His will.
As a result, we—the first to place our hope in the Anointed One—
will live in a way to bring Him glory and praise.
Ephesians 1:3-12 The Voice
But it’s not just what He has done for us, although that is important. It is about the why. Look at what is underlined.
Am I seeing this right? That giving gifts to me brings Him delight? Yes, because,
God rejoices in me? This feels huge. I need to sit and think about this for a while …
