Have you ever pondered the wonderful truths in this verse:
“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” (Ephesians 1:3).
Think about that—when we come to Christ, we become new creations, fully saved and fully forgiven. There could be no greater blessings than these.
When we face struggles, confusion, testing, and persecution here on earth:
✔ We persevere because we have “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1).
✔ We focus on these eternal blessings, knowing this earth is not our home (Hebrews 11:16).
✔ We seek to store up treasures in heaven “as a firm foundation for the coming age” (1 Timothy 6:17-19).
✔ We have peace of mind when facing difficulties because we know Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33).
✔ Best of all, we know that when our earthly troubles end, our hearts and minds will be fully transformed and we will understand things that confuse us here on earth (1 John 3:2; 1 Corinthians 13:12).
“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” (Ephesians 1:3).
