The assurance of God's blessings comes from His promises in scripture, where He declares that those in Christ are blessed with all spiritual blessings.
The understanding that God blesses His people is anchored in the truths found throughout scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:3, where it states that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ. This indicates not just material or temporary blessings but the deep, spiritual assurances of election, redemption, and justification. Additionally, God's nature as a blessing God – encapsulated in the name Berechiah, meaning 'Jehovah blesses' – signifies that His blessings are extendable and irrevocable. Thus, for those united with Christ, they cannot be cursed or condemned, as they are established in His blessing and grace.
