Made in heaven

 


Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3

In this verse I noticed these three words with the same root: blessed, bless, blessing.

Blessed is the One who dwells in heaven, who has blessed the citizens of heaven  still dwelling on earth, the blessed One who has given spiritual blessings to those who are led by the Spirit. Spiritual blessings are made in heaven, coming from heaven, given to the citizens of heaven whose names are written in heaven, these are blessings that will  take them to heaven.

The citizens of heaven enjoy the blessings made in heaven while living on earth.

There are many spiritual blessings:  the eternal life, the forgiveness of sins, the true holiness, the heavenly original one, not the earthly counterfeits,  the unspeakable joy, the peace  that surpasses all understanding, the heavenly wisdom, the treasures hidden in the Word of God, the victories in the spiritual warfare, the safety of Psalm 91, the love of 1 Corinthians 13, the  faith of Hebrews 11, the hope of  1 John 3:3  and many more.  

When I say "God bless you" to God’s children, I don’t  wish them  material goods, but victory, spiritual strength, deliverance from sin, progress in holiness, a better prayer life and the presence of God.
