AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:3 ¶ Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ, |
Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
