What does the Bible say about being blessed of God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes those who are blessed of God as those who are poor in spirit, mourn, are meek, hunger for righteousness, show mercy, are pure in heart, make peace, and endure persecution.

According to Scripture, those blessed by God exhibit distinct characteristics that reflect their relationship with Him. Jesus teaches in the Beatitudes that the spiritually poor, those who mourn over sin, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those persecuted for righteousness' sake are the true recipients of God's blessings. These traits are not indicative of self-righteousness, but rather a deep awareness of their spiritual condition and dependence on God's grace. Ephesians 1:3 emphasizes that such blessings are bestowed in Christ and are part of the grace given to the elect.
