2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS
We all love receiving gifts, especially at Christmas and on our birthdays. amen.
But as Christians, we have received gifts that are beyond measure, we are totally blessed.
What have we received:
Firstly
Grace- simply unmerited favour, we do not deserve anything God gives us. What we have is God's gracious gift to us, he doesn't have to give us anything, but he does, that's why it's grace.
Secondly
Peace-with God and with others. We are now at peace with God, Paul outlines this much more in chapter 2, peace with people and most importantly God
Finally- where do these gifts come from, they are personal gifts to us, given by God the Father, because of the sacrifice of Jesus.
They are personal to us; they are HIS love gifts to us.
In the following devotions, we will open some of these beautiful love gifts.
Praise his name
God bless you

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places
WE HAVE IT ALL
We often complain that we are lacking this or that in our lives, but spiritually speaking, we have it all.
Every single spiritual blessing we could ever dream of is ours.. amen
God has blessed us, these are of course applied to every true believer, they are personal gifts from the Lord to us.
They come to us, because of Christ, his work on the cross and resurrection, it is nothing to do with us, grace gives every gift listed in the following verses. We have these blessings because of Christ's finished work, not to boast about ourselves, but to show God's glory.
These are not ordinary gifts, they are heavenly gifts, we cannot find these gifts anywhere on earth, they are given by God the Father, because of the finished work of Christ and applied to us by the blessed Holy Spirit.
Every true and perfect gift comes from the Father of lights, he has given you these love gifts,
No wonder the first word in this awesome passage is of praise, BLESSED. Oh, he is to be blessed, who else can give gifts, ones that we don't deserve. BUT GOD
As a Christian, you truly
HAVE IT ALL.. AMEN
God bless you
