Spiritual Blessings in Christ

3Praise 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.

4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love5heOr sight in love. 5 He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will–6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.9And heOr us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,10to 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.

11In him we were also chosen,Or were made heirs having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,14who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession–to the praise of his glory.

We need to acknowledge and accept these blessings through awareness/ thanksgivings to God that we have received them(spiriual blessings) instead of asking.

God has blessed us with EVERY spiritual blessing. To me this means we have the spiritual tools and we must use them or risk wasting God's blessings.

Ephesians 1:3-15: (Study- "Start Point") We have been given “…all spiritual blessings in heavenly…” Like the other notes mention on these verses- pray that you may know, understand & walk in them on the earth NOW, because you won’t need to walk in them in Heaven like you have to on this earth NOW (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8; 2 Peter 1:2-4; etc.); “ALL” means “ALL” even in the Greek!

blessings in the heavenly realms. When I read this it is a reminder of things not of this world, those blessings that are far greater than those we would ever have here on earth.
