How do we know that the blessings of God are for specific people?

Answered in 1 source

The blessings of God are reserved for His elect, as depicted in Psalm 67, where the focus is on God's chosen people.

Psalm 67 illustrates that when David says, 'God shall bless us,' he is referring specifically to the people of God, suggesting that not all experience these spiritual blessings equally. This aligns with the doctrine of election found in Scripture, such as in Ephesians 1, where Paul explains that God has chosen specific individuals for salvation. The blessings that flow from being in Christ Jesus are thus meant for the elect, reinforcing the idea of particular grace rather than universal grace. This understanding is crucial in appreciating the depth and specificity of God's redemptive purpose.
