All about Blessings (Lesson three)

Ephesians 1:9-14 NASB

(9)  He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him

(10)  with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

(11)  also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

(12)  to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.

(13)  In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

(14)  who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of 

 God's own possession, to the praise of His glory.

All blessings are ours in Christ.  Let’s look at a few of these blessings. 

The time will come when God will bring everything under the authority of Christ.

We have an inheritance from God.

Everything happens according to God’s plan.

The Holy Spirit seals our position in Christ.

The Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance as children of God..

The Spirit guarantees that we have been purchased as the people of God.

Do you have friends and loved ones who you would like to see receive these blessings?  Tell them about the love of Jesus and pray that God’s Holy Spirit will convict them of their sin.
