What does the Bible say about the blessedness of believers?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes blessedness as the joy of having sins forgiven and being counted righteous by God without works.

In Galatians 4:15, the Apostle Paul laments the loss of blessedness among the Galatians, who once rejoiced in the gospel's truth but had become critical and suspicious of him. This blessedness refers to the joy of having iniquities forgiven, as detailed in Romans 4, where Paul teaches that righteousness is imputed to believers without any works on their part. This blessedness is affirmed by David in Psalm 32:1-2, where it is declared that those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered are truly blessed. Through faith in Christ, believers experience profound blessedness, which is rooted in God’s justifying grace.
