Spiritual Blessings
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” (Ephesians 1:3-5, NLT)
“Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance form God, for He chose us in advance , and He made everything work out according to His plan.” (Ephesians 1:11, NLT)
“And now you Gentiles have also heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago. The Spirit is God’s guarantee that He will give us the inheritance that He promised and that He has purchased us to be His own people. He did this so that we would praise and glorify Him.” (Ephesians 1: 13-14, NLT)
