Read Ephesians 1:15-23

I don't know about you, but I have often asked God for wisdom many times in my life. So that I may understand the "right" decision to make in a situation or how to approach someone with the right words that won't leave them angry or offended. But have you ever noticed what Paul prayed for regarding the people of Ephesus? After assuring them of the many blessings they had in Christ, he followed that up with how he prayed for them, and it is an example we can all take to heart.

Read Ephesians 1:7-14

Last week I began a new study in Ephesians, and we started with the Four Spiritual Blessings God Gives Us. This week I would like to look at four more blessings we receive from God because of Jesus. 
​
  • We have redemption through Jesus' blood.
  • We have the forgiveness of sins.
  • We have an inheritance.
  • We have been sealed with the Holy Spirit.

What a mighty God we serve! He has blessed us with so much, so let's examine the four blessings above.

 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy
and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us
to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to
the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His
​ grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
Ephesians 1:3-6, NKJV
NOTE: THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN 2016 AND I AM REPOSTING IT AGAIN.
Have you ever noticed how much about us is packed into the opening verses of Ephesians? Just look at what we are and have in Christ:
​
  • We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing. 
  • We were chosen before the foundation of the world. 
  • We were adopted by Jesus as sons (and daughters). 
  • We are accepted because Jesus made us beloved.

Can you even begin to fathom such great love or mercy? We don't deserve it, but it is offered to all freely. So let's break these verses down.
