Title: Spiritual Blessings from God Text: Ephesians 1:3-6
1. The first thing we need to think about is that spiritual blessings come from Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:3 Spiritual blessings are not earthly blessings. Spiritual blessings are heavenly blessings in Christ. The word ‘in Christ’ here means ‘union with Christ’. That is, when we become one with the Lord, we can receive spiritual blessings. So, the word ‘in’ means staying in the first place. It means staying in Christ. It means standing firm in Christ. Second, it has the meaning of ‘living’. It is life and death with the Lord. Romans 14:8 The third signifies fellowship. The word ‘spiritual’ here means ‘belonging to the spirit’. Spiritual things are spiritual blessings. And no matter how spiritual, the blessings that depart from Jesus Christ are not spiritual blessings. There are many spirits approaching us in the world, but all of them are lies. Only the spirit that works in Jesus Christ and the blessing that works are spiritual blessings.
2. The spiritual blessing God gives is that He has chosen us in Christ.
3. Spiritual blessing is that we become the Son of God through Jesus Christ.
This is the spiritual blessing of being a son.
