How to Be Blessed

Be blessed through God's love and grace in Christ, to the praise of the glory of His grace (Ephesians 1:6). Grace means that the blessings of God come to us as the gift of God in Christ. A gift cannot be bought nor earned. God's blessings are by grace through faith in Christ.

Be blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). By faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, all the blessings of God are ours. We need not beg God to bless us. We need not struggle nor strive to receive God's blessings. They are all ours by grace through faith in Christ.

We may ask, what are those blessings? In the first chapter of Ephesians several of those blessings are mentioned. We receive God's love, grace, peace, truth, forgiveness, and wisdom, through the Holy Spirit. There are countless more blessings not only in this age, but also in the age to come (Ephesians 1:21). God blessed us by grace through faith  in Christ.

You may ask, how can I thank God for all of these blessings? Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Praise is the expression of a grateful heart to God for all of His blessings in Christ. Worship is giving thanks and praise to God through our prayers and songs. Praise God, because you are blessed in Christ.
