Blessed in Eight Ways

JANUARY 29, 2021

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

 Recommended Reading: Ephesians 1:4-14

What if your real estate agent’s only description of a house she has found for you is this: “You’re going to love it! It’s got everything you need!” Would you sign on the dotted line based only on that description? Because the agent knows your family’s needs and desires, her description of the house is probably accurate. But there’s something about knowing the details that gives you assurance that this house really will meet your needs going forward.

The apostle Paul wrote a statement in Ephesians 1 similar to the real estate agent’s general description. He wrote that we have been “blessed … with every spiritual blessing …in Christ” (verse 3). That covers it, right? What more do we need to know? Thankfully, Paul went on to enumerate eight of those spiritual blessings for our comfort: We are chosen (verse 4), adopted (verse 5), accepted (verse 6), redeemed (verse 7), enlightened (verses 8-9), given an inheritance (verses 11), sealed (verse 13), and secured (verse 14).

Are you blessed today? Yes, in at least eight different ways—blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Every blessing God has for man is in and through Jesus Christ.
