You Are Blessed (Ephesians 1:3)

God is blessed … and from that state of blessing, He blesses us.

As Paul talks about this incredible reality in Ephesians 1:3, he reminds us that every single blessing God has for us is found in one single place … and that by blessing us, God in turns receives our praise, worship, thanksgiving, and adoration (in short, we declare the greatness of Who He is – “blessing”).

In this lesson, Nathan Johnson expounds upon Ephesians 1:3 looking at the three blessing words used in the verse and how we, as Christians, are to live in the blessing of God – you are blessed!
