Every Spiritual Blessing

You are dearly beloved by the Father. He called you by the good pleasure of His will and in Christ He seated you before Him in the heavenly realm as holy and blameless, redeemed and forgave you by the riches of His grace. He made you His beloved children, gave you the earnest of His spirit and sealed you with it for the day of redemption.

You are His child, highly favored; shown rich mercy and exceeding great grace in Christ, all because of His great love for you.

None of this was by our works, but by Christ’s work. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on the basis of his good works, which God prepared beforehand that therein we are to walk.

Through Christ we have access by one spirit. He made you a saint, a sanctified one in Christ Jesus, a fellow citizen and of the household of God. He made you His habitation by the spirit born within you in the new birth.

In Christ Jesus, we have boldness and confident access to the Father. Our Father has shown us such great grace in Christ Jesus.

Our Father filled every member in the body of Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ. None of us are lacking a single one.

Our Father wants us to know the hope of His calling; that we will acquire the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He wants us to know the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints; we are His portion.

He wants us to know the exceeding greatness of His power to us who believe. That power is what He exerted in the Christ when He raised him from the dead, and He exerted it in us when he made us alive together with Christ, raised us up together, and caused us to sit together in the heavenly realm in Christ Jesus.

Why did He do it? Because of His great love for us. It will take Him the ages to come to display the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness to us in Christ, beloved. Rejoice!!

He wants this knowledge to grow into a walk of love. He exhorts us to walk in love like Christ did. Live love until the day you see him face to face and are as he is!
