“In Christ" we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings.
Our Spirits are alive and our old man is dead and has been buried with Christ.
Jesus died as me.
The spiritual reality is that I am a new creation.
As we believe, mediate in all he has done and respond positively to His grace, these spiritual blessings slowly become physical realities in our lives.
The first two chapters of Ephesians give us 10 blessings we can mediate and revel in:
1. We have been adopted as God's children (Eph. 1:5);
2. We have redemption through Jesus' blood (Eph. 1:7);
3. We have the forgiveness of our sins (Eph. 1:7);
4. We have obtained an inheritance (Eph.
5. We have been sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph.
6. We have been given the same power that raised Christ from the dead (Eph.
7. We have been made the one new man (Eph.
8. We have been made fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God (Eph.
9. We have become a holy temple in the Lord (Eph.
10. We have become a habitation of God (Eph.
I love this list! I need to write these down and remember them..what a blessing to be In Christ!
