"Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ:" — Ephesians 1:3 (ASV)
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (Ephesians 1:3)
They are all yours. He has not blessed you with a part of the blessings, but with all of them; they are all yours. Have you the courage and the faith to take possession of them? That is the point.
If you have grace and peace, you are in the land. Now let your foot rest first on one blessing and then on another and appropriate them all to yourself.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (Ephesians 1:3)
I notice how often, in the Epistles, benedictions are followed by doxologies; this is because the true heart loves to bless the Lord.
What a rich treasure we have who are blessed with all spiritual blessings! There is nothing we can need but what is provided for us by our gracious God. Why are you poor, then, when God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ?
Is it not because you often forget to go to the heavenly in Christ, and begin looking to the earthly in yourselves? There is nothing but starvation there, but all true riches are found in the heavenly in Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
It is right that we should bless God as he has so richly blessed us. Blessed be the Heavenly Father who has so abundantly blessed his children. How has he blessed us? With all spiritual blessings in heavenly places (or, things) in Christ.
