Positional Truth
Ephesians 1:3-14
Every Spiritual Blessing
God's blessings are heavenly blessings!
God's blessings are spiritual and heavenly, not talking about material blessings.
Throughout history God has used two methods of blessings to deal with man.
Before Christ, God dealt with man by blessing him with material blessings.
He promised Abraham and Israel land and wealth and fame.
But Israel misused and hoarded the material blessings.
Instead of sharing its blessings with other nations, Israel isolated itself and claimed superiority and God-given rights over other nations of the earth.
However, since Christ, God deals with man spiritually, blessing him with spiritual blessings.
Five things about Spiritual Blessings
1. Spiritual blessings are of the Spirit.
It is the Spirit that controls you and the circumstances that surround you.
You may feel bad; he may be down, depressed and oppressed; but if your spirit is strong, you learn to rise and conquers your feelings.
You control and overcome the harassing circumstances, and you live a victorious day.
But if your spirit is weak, whether at work or at play, you often stumble around in self-pity, grumbling and griping and living a defeated day.
And too often the days stretch into weeks and months until your life is down more than it is up—all because the spirit is too weak to conquer.
The Positional Truth as a Christ follower is the spiritual blessings of God enable a person to control his life.
2. Spiritual blessings are the very opposite of material blessings.
Positional Truth – You are blessed in the inner man, the blessings of the immortal.
But of all blessings, Spiritual Blessings are the most glorious and satisfying.
They are the blessings that erase the loneliness, alienation, and purposelessness of man.
Positional Truth – Spiritual blessings give you an over-abundance of life.
3. Spiritual blessings are vastly superior to material blessings.
They are permanent and perfect and eternal, lasting forever.
They are of the very same nature as God Himself.
Spiritual blessings exist and can be experienced both upon earth and in heaven.
4. Spiritual blessings are found only in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and exalted to the right hand of God the Father.
He is in heaven, surrounded by all the heavenly atmosphere and blessings.
All heavenly blessings are His; He is Lord and Possessor of all blessings.
Positional Truth you experience the spiritual blessings, because you are in Christ.
When you believe in Christ, truly believes, God takes your faith and counts it as righteousness.
God counts you to be righteous and acceptable.
In God's mind faith in Christ makes a you: holy and righteous and acceptable for heaven.
Positional Truth to be in Christ means to believe in God's Son so much that God becomes elated—elated so much that He counts you to be just: acceptable and worthy to be blessed with all the blessings of heaven.
5. God dealt with mankind in material blessings first because mankind had to learn several things.
a.
A worldly inheritance does not last.
It is subject to being lost or stolen.
We either watch our material possessions deteriorate or else we leave our material possessions behind for others.
b.
A worldly nation all about material inheritance cannot bring peace and security.
Peace and security are of the spirit.
Material things are of the earth, of a corruptible nature.
That is why material things do not solve the spiritual struggle that man has within.
c.
Mankind has within its inner being a basic selfishness and greed.
Mankind finds a tendency, an unregulated urge that desires and seeks the material and desires the corruptible to the neglect of the spiritual.
d.
Mankind must undergo a basic change of character to be freed of this urge, this tendency that causes so much bondage, disruption, and division within one's self and between men.
You must be born again, made into a new creation, created into a new man—spiritually, permanently, perfectly, eternally.
And such a spiritual creation must be performed by “Someone” much greater than himself.
Man must be recreated by the hand of God Himself.
Holy & Blameless
The word "holy" means to be set apart and consecrated to God.
Positional Truth - God has chosen us to be holy and blameless.
God determined before the world was ever created that He would have a people...
1.
Who would be "in Him," that is, in His Son, Jesus Christ.
2. Who would be "holy and without blame."
3. Who would live "before Him in love"—forever and ever.
Truth - God wants us to be with Him.
God does not want us separated from Him, gripped by sin and shame, sorrow and pain, death and hell.
God wants us to live forever and ever with Him.
He has "chosen us to live with Him.
No amount of rebellion and rejection, cursing and denial of Him will stop His purpose and plan.
God will have a people who will live with Him, and He will continue to choose us until He has the number He has purposed.
The word "blameless" means to be free from sin, dirt, and filth; to be above reproach and without blemish; to be without fault and defilement.
Positional Truth - God has chosen you and I to be perfect.
But note: Our perfection is in Christ and in Christ alone.
No one can live a perfect and sinless life.
No man, woman, boy or girl is righteous by his or her self.
Jesus Christ is the only Person who has ever lived a sinless and perfect life; therefore, He is the only Person who has the right to live with God.
Our only hope of ever living with God is to believe in Jesus Christ—believe so much that God will take our faith and count it as the righteousness of Christ.
This is the gospel: God loves us so much that He has accepted us in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
He has taken our faith in Christ and counted it as the righteousness of Christ.
Therefore, we are acceptable to God because we trust in Christ and in His righteousness
