Why Christians are Blessed.

In these days and times, we as the body of Christ have so many reasons to be blessed. There are so many people out there who are lost. We have every reason to be joyful. We need to rejoice. Our names are written in Heaven. Our Heavenly Father loves us. We are saved, blood-brought, born-again Christians. We didn't wait until it was too late to say "Yes!" to Jesus. We are so fortunate. We have so many other reasons to call ourselves blessed!

***We are God's Children and joint-heirs with Jesus.
Romans 8:17 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.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

***Our Future Citizenship in Heaven
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Revelation 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

***The Choice to Walk The Narrow Way
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

***He paid the Ransom, but we believed. We have called upon His name. We believed that He died on the cross and rose on the third day. We have been delivered. We were bought with a price. Jesus risked His life for us! How many people do you know would risk their lives for you?
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians 7:23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

***Our God is a God of love, for He is Love. We have no condemnation, for we are in Christ Jesus. We are the sons of Light.
John 3:15-20
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

***We have come into and have accepted The Truth. The Truth is in us if we are truly His. But if we deceive ourselves and have hatred in our hearts, then the Truth is not in us.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

***We have no reason to worry or to fear.
Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
John 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

***A Heavenly Father who will vouch for us. He will fight for us. The Holy Spirit intercedes for us. Jesus died for us, rose on the third day, promised the Holy Spirit, and has the power to forgive sins. God's got all the bases covered. We can trust in Him for protection, safety, and deliverance from evil.
2 Chronicles 20:17 Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
2 Chronicles 25:8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
Psalms 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Psalm 91:1-6
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
God does answer our concerns.
Judges 20:18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
1 Chronicles 5:20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

***He is our Comforter. Our Heavenly Father is our father of Comfort. Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. Joy and Peace are of God.

Rejoice. Praise God, for we are blessed! Tell somebody about your blessings. Encourage somebody! Be a witness for Christ! Don't be ashamed. Be bold. Our Savior is a Risen Savior. Time is short. Now is the Time for salvation. Our Lord is an All-Mighty God. He is coming back soon. Tell the world who you are. Live like a blessed Christian. Let the world see Jesus in you.
