God's blessings are eternal as He promises to bless His people with everlasting possessions and spiritual inheritance.
The blessings of God, as expressed in Genesis 48:4, include promises of fruitfulness and the giving of land to Jacob's descendants. This concept is echoed in Ephesians 1:3-12, where Paul teaches that believers are blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ, emphasizing the idea of being chosen and predestined for eternal life. The relationship with God through Christ is characterized as not merely temporal but as an everlasting possession, securing our place in His eternal kingdom through His grace and favor. Thus, the evidence of God's fidelity to His promises assures us of their eternal nature.
