Spiritual Blessings

Following Christ, I am blessed in and with every spiritual blessing, and they come from the heavenly world. I've belonged to Christ from the world’s inception and I am chosen to be holy and blameless. I was adopted long ago, not because of what I had or had not done, but because of what Jesus did. It pleased the Father to do this; it was good in His sight.

The Father gave us/me grace because of His Son, the One (Jesus). Jesus blood freed us from our sin. His rich grace He pours out to give us great wisdom and understanding. His wisdom shows the Fathers plan about Jesus work at the cross of history. The Father planned this before all time, and we were part of that plan. Jesus, the LORD OF Lords, will rule over all. There are no unbelievers in death. In the fullness of time, history will be complete; Jesus will then rule.

The amazing thing is: we who believe will reign with Him. He chose us before it all started. We were chosen to hope in Christ and to bring Him praise for all eternity. You who believe in Christ work are chosen too. As we believed the message of truth, the Father sealed us with His Holy Spirit. We are marked as God’s own and someday in death or rapture; we will see His promise completed.

Soon, we will see Jesus at the right hand of our Father. He is far above any ruler past, present, or future. He is above all physical and spiritual rulers or little gods of any age. The Father placed Jesus in the position and all things are under His rule. Jesus rules as head over the church and we the church are His body. The church is filled with Christ, and He is our fulfillment.

We/I forget these things from time to time. His word reminds us. Read Ephesians 1, it tells it better than I.
