How do we know God's blessings are for His people?

The assurance that God’s blessings are for His people is found in Scripture, primarily through the understanding of our union with Christ. Ephesians 1:3 states that believers are blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ. This positioning means that everything Christ has as the Head, we share as His body. The blessings mentioned in Genesis 49 assure us that, like Joseph, the people of God are recipients of divine favor and provision. Romans 8:16-17 supports this by stating that as children of God, we are heirs and joint heirs with Christ, reinforcing the reality that God’s blessings upon His Son extend to all who are united with Him.
