BLESSED WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS By Robert Hanna, Pastor
BLESSED WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS By Robert Hanna, Pastor
"BLESSED WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS"*
*By Robert Hanna, Pastor*
*
Eph 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ"
When considering our positional blessings as believers saved by grace,
we do well to remember how these blessings were acquired. True, it was
"not by works of righteousness which we have done" (Titus 3:5). Consider
our position in its full magnitude. We are "blessed with all spiritual
blessings in the heaven-lies IN CHRIST." "He hath chosen us IN HIM
before the foundation of the world...having predestinated us unto the
adoption of sons by Jesus Christ TO HIMSELF...He hath made us accepted
IN THE BELOVED (ONE) (Christ).. in whom (Christ) we have redemption.. In
whom also we have obtained an inheritance (in CHRIST)" (Ephesians 1:4-11).
All this--and we are totally undeserving of it. We earned none of it
"For by GRACE are ye saved .. not of works.." (Ephesians 2:8- 9 .) Note,
however, that it did not all 'just happen' to come to pass. Throughout
all past dispensations, man has been instructed as to what he must do to
satisfy God's requirements in order to attain acceptance in His sight.
In time past God had required blood sacrifice, circumcision, works of
law, works of ceremonial rite, etc.
But what of today, in the age of grace? "To him that worketh not, but
BELIEVETH ON HIM. THAT JUSTIFIETH THE UNGODLY, his faith is counted for
righteousness. Through verse 11 of Eph. chapter 1 we have noted what we
are and what we have IN CHRIST. Now on to verse 12: "IN WHOM (Christ) YE
ALSO TRUSTED, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation."
