Notice that God didn’t cancel just our sin. The Amplified Bible says that God is not counting up and holding against mankind their trespasses, but canceling them. The word “impute” means to charge, ascribe, or attribute, especially something discreditable. Second Corinthians 5:19 tells us that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself.ġ9 To wit, God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. One blessing that is ours is the blessing of reconciliation. Let’s learn from Scripture what some of these blessings are-these blessings that are ours in Christ. (“In Christ” refers to all that God did in Christ’s redemptive work.) We’ve been given every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. Our wonderful Heavenly Father in His great grace has given enough to the Church to make us rich and strong. Many Christians don’t know what belongs to them, so they keep trying to obtain what is already theirs. There aren’t any more that He hasn’t already blessed us with. God has blessed us with all the spiritual blessings there are. What has God blessed us with? Verse 3 tells us: with all spiritual blessings. Notice verse 3 does not say, “Blessed be the God who is going to bless us,” but it says, “Blessed be the God who hath blessed us.” It’s past tense! Thank God this letter to the Ephesians applies to the saints all over the world and wherever you live. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
