Blessed in Heavenly Places

02/17/2018 Todays PBJ by George Stahnke

Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

How privileged we are, above all others that we, as mear mortals would be called "the children of God." By the Spirit of adoption, we have been born again. Our many sins are forgiven, cleansed by the blood of Christ Jesus. If this were all we were to receive in this life it would be enough! Once we were dead in our sins alienated from God. Now we are alive in Christ Jesus and in renewed fellowship with Abba Father!

“Our thanks are due to God for all temporal blessings; they are more than we deserve. But our thanks ought to go to God in thunders of hallelujahs for spiritual blessings. A new heart is better than a new coat. To feed on Christ is better than to have the best earthly food. To be an heir of God is better than being the heir of the greatest nobleman. To have God for our portion is blessed, infinitely more blessed than to own broad acres of land. God hath blessed us with spiritual blessings. These are the rarest, the richest, the most enduring of all blessings; they are priceless in value.” (Spurgeon)
