Scripture Passage: Ephesians 1:3
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.”
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians was written to encourage believers by reminding them of the vast spiritual blessings they have in Christ. In a world where material wealth often defines success, Paul shifts the focus to the true riches found in Jesus. The “heavenly realms” refer to the spiritual reality of God’s kingdom, where these blessings—such as salvation, adoption, and redemption—are stored. These blessings are not temporary or worldly but eternal and secure.
In this verse, Paul emphasizes that every spiritual blessing comes from being in Christ. This means that as believers, we have access to the fullness of God’s grace and favor. These blessings aren’t earned by our efforts; they are a gift from God because of our union with Jesus.
Think of a child who receives an inheritance from a wealthy relative. They didn’t work for it or earn it—it’s simply theirs because of their relationship to the family. Similarly, our spiritual blessings are a rich inheritance from God, given because we belong to Christ.
Are there moments when you feel spiritually impoverished or disconnected from God’s blessings? How does this verse remind you of the abundant resources available to you in Christ? Reflect on the spiritual blessings you’ve received, and consider how they shape your identity and purpose.
Today, take time to thank God for the spiritual blessings in your life. Make a list of these blessings, and let them deepen your gratitude and confidence in Christ. Share one of these blessings with someone who needs encouragement.
Prayer: “Father, thank You for blessing me with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Help me to live in the fullness of these blessings, recognizing that I lack nothing in You. Open my eyes to the riches of Your grace, and use me to share Your blessings with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
