What does it mean that God's blessings are for Christ's sake?

Answered in 1 source

God's blessings to His people are rooted in the merit of Christ, highlighting His redemptive work.

In Ephesians 4:32, it states, 'even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.' This illustrates that all spiritual blessings and favor from God are based on our union with Christ. Just as Potiphar's house was blessed for Joseph's sake, our spiritual blessings flow from our relationship with Jesus. It emphasizes that our righteousness is not based on our deeds but is imputed to us through Christ, signifying the importance of His redemptive work on our behalf. The gospel rests on the work of Christ as our substitute and the source of all blessings.
