Bible Question:
Forum saints, I hear a lot about blessings these days. 'Command the blessing,' and 'get the blessing' are common phrases. What is the blessing of the Lord? How do we receive it? Does God 'owe' blessing to us? In Jesus' name, charis |
Bible Answer: Charis ... "Command the blessing" and "get the blessing" sounds like "health and wealth" but, I think not not found in the Bible. I do not think we can ask, much less command a blessing. God does not "owe" us anything. He already promised us many things, including suffering and eternal life - we we believe in Him. The blessings promised in Mat. 5:3-12 are a promise - it means that we will be happy. I do not think any of the words we see as blessing means material goods. Steve |
