1 | Spiritual Bessings in the Heavenlies | Eph 1:3 | La Mirl | 32432 | ||
I am trying to identify each of the "every spiritual blessings" that Paual refers to in this verse. There seems to be several blessings that could be ascribed to the reference. Is this true? | ||||||
2 | Spiritual Bessings in the Heavenlies | Eph 1:3 | Robert Nicholson | 32435 | ||
The believer's position is in the heavenlies. It has been suggested by Schofield that the blessings which we have in him may be defined as the sphere of the believer's spiritual experience as identified with Christ: in nature (2 Peter 1:4, in life (Col. 3.4; 1 John 5:12), in relationships (John 20:17; Heb. 2:11), in service (John 17:18; Matt. 28:20), in suffering (Phil.1:29; Phil. 3:10; Col. 1:24) in inheritance (Romans 8:16,17) and in future glory in the kingdom (Rom. 8 18-21; 1 Peter 2:9; Rev. 1:6, Rev.5:10) Do you not think that we are looking at position truth for all believers. We are in the heavenlies with Christ? Peace in his Name Robert |

So, Robert what is(are) the life application(s) in these truths. when I read this scripture I read it over and over. It always feels as if there is a deeper meaning/significance that is just beyond my grasp. Can you go continue with your thoughts? Of course I am studying/meditating/praying on this text. Thanks for responding. |

Hello La Mirl, If you read further on in this chapte, down to say verse 13, you will see the blessings that Paul is talking about. In short we have been: Chosen in verse 4, predestined in verse 5, acceptance with God through Jesus in verse 6, Remission of sins, and redemption through the blood of Jesus in verse 7, the riches of His grace, which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight in verse 8, made known to us the mystery of his will in verse 9, the summing up of all things in Christ in verse 10, Also obtained an inheritance(heaven) in verse 11, sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise in verse 13 These are the spiritual blessings he's talking about. Study, pray, and meditate on those verses and always remember, it's all for the Glory of God. Love in Christ!! Barry |

Thanks all for sharing your questions and spiritual wisdom, I was searching the NIV online tonight for the phrase "spiritual blessings", striving to gain a better understanding of Eph 1:3. The Spirit led me to this website, and when I registered, to your discussion here. Letting you know that He is using you as an instrument in His good works, in a profound way. | ||||||
