Being Grateful For Spiritual Blessings
The greatest spiritual blessing of all is salvation from sin. Being at Peace With God We all deserve Hell.
Hebrews 4: 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.
Romans 3: 10, 23 As it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; ( WHY ) for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 23
The penalty for disobedience is death Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
When there is sin blood must be shed Hebrews 9: 22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Animal sacrifices were a shadow to teach us the principle of atonement. Hebrews 10: 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
We didn’t deserve what Jesus did for us Romans 5: 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus gave us a pardon while we were living in rebellion Ephesians 1: 1 -2 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world,
ur greatest blessing is forgivenes Let’s all be thankful for it ! Let’s share it !!
After we have been forgiven we have the blessing of a personal relationship with God. .
Christians are adopted into God’s family Romans 8: 15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
As His Child, the Christian is His heir. Romans 8: 16 -17 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we. . .
Your Heavenly Father cares for you I Peter 5: 6 -7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, 7 casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
We can talk to our Heavenly Father James 1: 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
As His children we don’t fear rejection I John 4: 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.
We may reject Him, but He will never reject us so long as we keep our faith I John 5: 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, soyou may know that you have eternal life that.
The Christian is blessed to have an intercessor perpetually advocating for him in Heaven.
Our older brother advocates for us I John 2: 1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;
His intercession keeps us saved Hebrews 7: 25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
Be grateful !! Once our faith motivates us to obey HIS gospel, HE saves us and HE keeps us saved so long as we keep our faith in Him.
Philippians 4: 6– 7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Unsaved have no access, so no peace Isaiah 59: 2 But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.
Those with access must intercede for those who have no access. I Timothy 2: 1 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
Being a part of God’s body, God’s church, is a great spiritual blessing
The church is important to God Acts 20: 28 Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
The church helps one another I Corinthians 16: 1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. ( Philippine relief effort )
The church helps outsiders Galatians 6: 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
Church leaders must train us to help Titus 3: 14 Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.
Works of the church glorify God Ephesians 3: 21 To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations. . .
Giving through the church lays up treasures in Heaven Matthew 6: 18 -19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, . . . 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;
Every Christian is blessed with every spiritual blessing Ephesians 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
We have innumerable spiritual blessings Our Lesson has only looked at four : 1. 2. 3. 4. Forgiveness of sin Our personal relationship with God Having an Advocate in Heaven The privilege of being in His church.
We live in anticipation of Heaven. 1. 2. 3. 4. Christ will take us home to Heaven. We’ll receive a new eternal body. We’ll meet Him and stay with Him. We know our eternity is secure.
HOWEVER, if you are not in Christ when He comes for His own, you will remain separated from Him for all eternity.
Will you not trust in Him today and surrender you life in obedience.
