Spiritual Blessings

(Romans 8:28–34)

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. 4 For He chose us in Him before [the] foundation of [the] world to be holy and blameless in His presence In love 5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to [the] praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved [One].

7 

In [Him] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. 9 [And] He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in [Christ] 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth {together} in Christ

11 

In Him vvv we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to [the] plan of [Him who] works out everything by the counsel of His will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for [the] praise of His glory.

13 

And in [Him], having heard and believed the word of truth — the gospel of your salvation — you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit 14 who is [the] pledge of our inheritance until [the] redemption of those [who are] [God’s] possession, to [the] praise of His glory.
