God Will Bless You

You are either blessed or cursed, according to the Bible. To be cursed is to be cut off from the blessings of God. He wants to bless all nations (Galatians 3:8). The Bible makes it clear who will be blessed. Every covenant blessing comes to us through Jesus our Lord (Ephesians 1:3). God made promises with an oath to bless all who are in a covenant relationship with him through Christ.

God will bless you through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He took the curse of our sins at the cross, that we may receive the covenant blessing. The resurrection of our Lord Jesus proves that God the Father accepted his sacrifice for our sins. "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13). On the cross Jesus took the curse of our sins.

God will bless you in Christ. We receive the covenant blessing the same way Abraham did, by faith alone (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:1-4). God blessed Abraham in all things (Genesis 24:1). "So then those of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham" (Galatians 3:9). God made covenant with Abraham to bless all nations through his Seed. The promised Seed is our Lord Jesus Christ (Genesis 12:1-3). 

God will bless you in Christ to "receive the promise of the Spirit through faith" (Galatians 3:14). The Holy Spirit seals all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:13). The Holy Spirit confirms that you are blessed by God in Christ, through the abiding gifts of faith, hope and love (1 Corinthians 13:13).
