What does it mean to be blessed of the Father?

Answered in 1 source

Being blessed of the Father means receiving God's grace and favor, resulting in eternal inheritance and a relationship with Him.

In Matthew 25:34, Jesus tells the righteous to 'Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.' To be blessed of the Father signifies being chosen and loved by God, receiving His grace, and being granted eternal life. This blessing is not based on our works but is rooted in God's sovereign grace and His purpose from before the foundation of the world. It assures believers that their inheritance is secured and that they are partakers of God's eternal kingdom, which is characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
