God Will Bless You

"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" (Ephesians 1:3). God will bless you "in Christ." That means you are in union with Christ. It is a faith union, when you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a spiritual union. You are sealed with the Holy Spirit when we trust in Christ (Ephesians 1:13).

God will bless you in Christ. You do not earn God's blessings by our works, rather all the blessings of God are for you through the finished work of Christ at the cross. Therefore, God will bless you by grace through faith in Christ alone.

The Lord Jesus Christ is in heaven as every believer's Mediator, Intercessor, and Advocate with God the Father (1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2). For this reason, God the Father will bless you "with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ."

Immediately upon believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, you are adopted into the family of God (Ephesians 1:5), and "in Him we have received an inheritance" (Ephesians 1:11). Many blessings are for you now, but the best is yet to come in your inheritance. God "has blessed us" now, with much greater blessings to come. You are blessed  as "an heir of God through Christ"(Galatians 4:7).
