The Best Of Everything

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: places: or, things - Ephesians 1:3

    The child of God is not forsaken in poverty and ruin. He is not left to fend for himself in the garbage and filth of the world and religion. He is not left to walk in the blindness and darkness of error. There is nothing negative or despairing about the sheep of Christ our Lord. God’s children have the best of everything.

    The true and living God is our God and we are his people—God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people (2 Cor 6:16).

    God is for his people—What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31).

    God works all things in providence for his people’s good—And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose (Rom 8:28).

    God has not withheld any spiritual blessing from us—Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3).

    Not only has he forgiven our sin, he has given us the very righteousness of Christ—For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Cor 5:21).

    There is nothing lacking in the believer’s life—And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power (Col 2:10).

    God’s people walk in the light and glory of God by faith that he has given—Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness (1 Thes 5:5).

    It would be impossible to number and articulate all we have as God’s children. But to sum it up, in Christ we have the best of everything. If Christ be ours and we be His, there is nothing more to be desired. He has freely given all that we have, because he loves us and is pleased to do so. I may not look like much or appear to have much by the world’s estimation, but by God’s grace, I have the best of everything.
