God's blessings are for the elect, as illustrated by biblical narratives that demonstrate His sovereign choice in salvation.
The concept of God's blessings being specifically for the elect is deeply rooted in scriptural teachings and exemplified in the story of Jacob and Esau. While Jacob's actions in deceiving Isaac might raise ethical questions, they serve to fulfill God's declaration regarding the lineage through which His redemptive promise would flow. Romans 8:28-30 articulates that those He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. This reinforces the truth that salvation and blessings are not earned but are graciously bestowed upon those whom God has chosen. The blessing Jacob receives ultimately reflects God's sovereign plan of redemption that transcends human failures and deceptions.
