Paul writes to the saints at Ephesus that God has “blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Most Christians can rattle off a whole string of material blessings from God, but can name only of few of these spiritual blessings which are available only in Christ Jesus. These blessings are priceless and have eternal significance. How many spiritual blessings can you name without looking at the list below?
Here are just some of the spiritual blessings found in Christ:
$ Eternal life
$ Redemption from one’s debt to God
$ Forgiveness of sins
$ Continual cleansing of Christ’s blood
$ Reconciliation to God
$ Adopted sons of God
$ An eternal inheritance with Christ Jesus
$ Privileged to wear the name of Christ - Christian
$ Gift of the Holy Spirit
$ The fruit of the Spirit in and through us
$ Prayers are heard and answered
$ In the kingdom of God’s beloved Son
$ Intercession by Christ and the Holy Spirit in our prayers
$ Power to put to death the deeds of the flesh
$ Spiritual wisdom and understanding to know God’s will
$ Peace of Christ
$ Members of the body of Christ
$ Fellowship with the Father and the Son

How many more can you think of? We are truly blessed in our Lord and Savior Jesus!
