I. Introduction – Paul and his blessing of the Lord (I John 4:19, Romans 5:8)
II. The spiritual blessings 1. He CHOSE US before the foundation of the world. He chose YOU! 2. He PREDESTINED us for adoption. Election and its fruit. 3. He REDEEMED us through his blood. Christ fulfilled God’s righteous requirement. Christ satisfied God’s divine justice. 4. He FORGAVE our trespasses. Col 2:13-14, I John 1:9 5. He made known to us the MYSTERY of his will. Truth hidden from our natural sense and reason. 6. He gave us the INHERITANCE of eternal life. This is our hope…but not as the world hopes! 7. He SEALED us with the promised Holy Spirit - the guarantee of our inheritance. No better comfort! A guaranteed inheritance.
III. In Christ All of God’s blessings are in Christ. Are YOU in Christ?
