SWORDS Bible Study: What Are Our Spiritual Blessings Part 5

by Mari

We are continuing our studies on what our spiritual blessings are in Christ!

We have received the mercy of God. Anyone who will believe will know the true blessing of the mercy of God.

Rom 11:30-32 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:   Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.   For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Eph_2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

Tit_3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Glory will be revealed in us and we will receive a new body! This is one that we will have in the future…as we are awaiting the redemption of the body, but as believers, it is a sure thing! A promise of God that glory will be revealed in us! Bearing the image of the heavenly! Our vile body will be fashioned unto His glorious body! No more pain, sickness or fighting our old nature ever again!

Rom 8:17-18 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,the redemption of our body.

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

2Co 5:1-2 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.     For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

Php 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

We are blessed with knowing that we have everlasting life! A life of peace and the excitement of a new body and life with our Creator God forever! Not singing hymns on clouds but a holy existence of everlasting life with God!

Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Eph 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Eph 2:4-5 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

1Ti 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Tit 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

As believers we have an incredible blessing. We have been given a very special standing as we are in Christ’s body! We are the body of Christ as the church of God! We are identified with Christ in His body.

Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

1Co 12:12-13 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Col 1:24-28 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:   Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;   Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:   To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:     Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Rom 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

1Co 1:29-31 That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
