Ephesians 6:10-20 All Nations Will Be Blessed In Thee

The seventh blessing — All nations will be blessed in thee Joshua emphasizes following God’s orders. Ephesians 6 emphasizes being obedient. Children obeying parents, servants obeying masters, and that everything we do we do as unto the Lord. Finally, in Joshua the land is divided up and the tribes need to take possession of their inheritance. Everything has been done so that they could stand in that good land. Likewise in Ephesians: This leads to our being ambassadors of the gospel, speaking in boldness as we ought to speak. This is the seventh blessing, that “all the families on Earth would be blessed in us”. That is the gospel, the good news, all the families on Earth will be blessed in us. I heard a message on Youtube where the preacher was saying that “I can’t fix racial injustice, I can’t fix people who feel like they are disenfranchised”. Instead he said our responsibility is to preach the gospel. Well, the gospel is that all the nations will be blessed in the church. The gospel is not simply that God is building a great nation from those who were former slaves, but that all the nations would be blessed in the church. We are one new man, a warrior that stands on Earth for righteousness. Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
