Ephesians 1

Paul points us toward a reality that is easy to overlook: God's blessings are not limited to what we can see and touch.

Ephesians 1:3
BSB
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
BSB

According to Ephesians 1:3, we have every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms through Christ.

Notice the distinction. The passage does not say that we have every physical blessing. It speaks specifically of spiritual blessing in the heavenlies.

These blessings exist in realms.

The word is plural. That small detail invites wonder: God's blessings are not described as belonging to one narrow, visible reality, but to heavenly realms beyond what we currently perceive.

A Question Worth Holding

What kinds of blessings could exist in realms still unknown to us?

Even without having every answer, the thought expands our vision. What God has given us in Christ is richer and larger than the physical world alone can show.
