All Spiritual Blessings

(Ephesians 1:15-23) If you're a Christian, you're rich!  You may not be wealthy by the world's standards, but you have a family inheritance.  You have the Father's resources now and His riches forevermore.  Be sure you're part of the family of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Ephesians 1:3-14) This is our second day looking at God's "run on sentence."  Why would He use this particular grammatical structure? Perhaps it's because we cannot fully describe the depths of what we have as members of the family of God.  They are without end.  In this single sentence, we learn of the spiritual blessings received from the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

(Ephesians 1:3-14) In Paul's language, Ephesians 1:3-14 is one continuous long sentence.  The entire "run-on sentence" demonstrates that of all the spiritual blessings we have in Christ, the chief blessing is that we've been made part of the family of God!  This long sentence begins with grace and ends with the glory of God.  (05497211125) 

(Ephesians 1:1-3) The introductory verses to Ephesians reveal the word "blessing" from two different directions.  God pours out His blessings on us, and there is another blessing that we give back to Him.  Regardless of our current circumstances, we always have reason to bless the Lord!

(Ephesians 1:1-3) God doesn't want us to live empty!  He wants us to live a full, overflowing, abundant life.  Ephesians could be described as God "rolling out the red carpet" and introducing us to all the resources we have available in Jesus Christ.  When we recognize our spiritual blessings in Christ we can see the fullness of God, get help for our home, and be empowered to have victory in spiritual battles!

(Ephesians 1:1-3) When we think of the blessings of God, our minds often journey to tangible or temporal things.  However, the greatest blessings are spiritual blessings. They meet our deepest needs and outlive this world.  Let's consider the origin, nature, intent, and duration of ALL spiritual blessings as we begin this study in the book of Ephesians.

Jude finished well and so can you. The Lord did not call you to start the race; He called you to finish it! Live every moment like the next one you could see Jesus face to face.

Do you want others to believe on Christ? Then you must believe that God can use you to reach them. God's people must demonstrate true faith in a world characterized by unbelief.
