Eph 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, Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
Paul typically opens his letters with a prayer of thanks giving for his recipients. ” BLESSED BE GOD ” Was a Greek terminology , ” eulogo” which was always used to praise God.
God has blessed believers with every spiritual blessing. Paul doesn’t say that God ” will bless us”. He says that God has already Blessed us. Every spiritual blessing comes to us through Christ. It is the Blessed God who blesses believers.
What are these spiritual blessings? God has already chosen and adopted us. He has freely given us his grace by which we receive redemption and the forgiveness of sin. He has made known to us the mysteries of the kingdom of God. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm. We must appropriate by faith what belongs to us.
