How do we know that God's way is the way of blessing?
Answered in 1 source
God's way is characterized by blessing, as He not only withholds judgment but also bestows righteousness and eternal life upon His people through Christ.
God's way is indeed the way of blessing. In Psalm 67, the prayer for God to bless His people emphasizes His dual action – withholding judgment while simultaneously granting His people the favor of righteousness. This is vividly demonstrated in the New Testament, where we learn that through Christ's obedience and sacrifice, believers are not merely forgiven but also made righteous. The Apostle Paul eloquently explains that in Christ, God has imputed righteousness to His people, ensuring that they are seen as justified in God's eyes. This divine blessing is not just temporary; it is eternal life, which encompasses both the joy of God's approval now and the promise of glory to come.
