In Christ Jesus we have been given EVERY spiritual blessing.<\/p>\n
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. (Eph. 1:3)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Those blessings include but undoubtedly not limited to what we find as we read on in Ephesians 1:3-14.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
- chosen in Him … our relationship with Him is not an accident<\/em><\/li>\n
- adoption … we belong to His family<\/em><\/li>\n
- acceptance … reconciled to Him we are no longer considered unworthy<\/em><\/li>\n
- redemption … don’t have to strive for acceptance as He made it possible<\/em><\/li>\n
- forgiveness … sin not held against us<\/em><\/li>\n
- riches of His grace … freely given all we need to live in Him<\/em><\/li>\n
- knowledge of the mystery of His will … able to come to a better understanding of who we are and what we have in Him<\/em><\/li>\n
- inheritance … a future which gives us perspective now and hope for more to come<\/em><\/li>\n
- sealing of the Spirit … security<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The more we grasp who we are and what we have in Christ, the more our spiritual fervor will increase (Rom. 12:11) and the more willingly we’ll make spiritual sacrifices (1 Pet. 2:5; Ps. 51:16-17; Rom. 12:1).<\/span><\/p>\n
Attaining Biblical Spirituality<\/h2>\n
Biblical spirituality isn’t some mystical experience but rather grows out of our knowledge of the Lord. Simply put, to attain Biblical spirituality, we start by getting to know the One who makes it possible. Start with spiritual milk, the basic, elementary truths of God’s Word and life in Christ<\/a> (1 Pet. 2:2; Heb. 5:12)<\/span> and then move on to the more solid food of His Word.
