Ephesians 1:3-143 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both[{{f}}] which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[{{f}}] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 1:3-14
Thunderstorms can be majestic, but they can frighten us. At any given moment, about two thousand thunderstorms are raining down on earth! That means two thousand active storm cells exist simultaneously on the globe every minute.1
That’s hard to grasp! But here’s something else to “pour” over. God is continually sending down His showers of spiritual blessings on us, and we have more to come in the future. Harold Hoehner said, “[These blessings are] defined as ‘spiritual.’ In the Old Testament the benefits were primarily material … [and] have their source in the Spirit of God…. So God has blessed the believer with every spiritual benefit necessary for his or her spiritual well-being.”2
Some of these are for us now—peace, joy, forgiveness, grace, fellowship with God, insight into Scripture. Others we’ll experience in eternity. None of us like being caught in a rainstorm, but when it comes to God’s showers, we don’t mind being drenched each day!
Spiritual benefits that come from heaven are for the believers united with Christ, who ascended into heaven.
