We Have Every Spiritual Blessing
We who are rooted in Christ also have every spiritual blessing in him in the heavenly places (Eph. 1:3). We need not fear because we already have every blessing. Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians that before the world was even formed, God the Father chose us, adopted us as his children, and lavished every spiritual blessing on us (Eph. 1:3–5).
First, what a relief that we were chosen before we were even born—before the earth was even formed. You and I did exactly nothing to receive our salvation in Christ. God did it all. Second, not only are we adopted, but we also have every spiritual blessing in him. Our Father owns every spiritually good thing, and he’s given them all to us.
