God's Blessing for You

The word blessed is a covenant term from the Bible. To be blessed is to find God's favor resulting in happiness. To be cursed is to be cut-off from the blessings of God. The covenant promise of God for every believer is to be blessed.

God will never break the vow of His everlasting covenant with all who believe. That covenant was sealed at the cross, in the death of the Son of God. Jesus is your surety of God's blessing. It is sealed in His blood. God's favor is on you as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Being blessed by God through the forgiveness of your sins brings joy in life. It is a fruit of God's Spirit working in your life. Through a personal relationship with the Lord, every believer is blessed. Remember, it's not based upon what you have done, but what Christ has done for you.

"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered."
Psalm 32:1

"For I will forgive their iniquity, 
and their sin I will remember no more." 
Jeremiah 31:34
