What does the Bible say about being blessed by God?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that blessings from God are gifts bestowed upon us, not earned through works (Psalm 128:1).
Scripture emphasizes that blessings are gifts from God rather than rewards for our own actions. Psalm 128 begins with the declaration that 'blessed is everyone that feareth the Lord.' This implies that true blessing stems from a heartfelt reverence for God, highlighting His grace in imparting blessings freely. Paul reinforces this notion in 1 Corinthians 4:7, reminding us that we possess nothing that we have not received from God. Thus, our posture of thankfulness should be directed to Him as the ultimate provider.
