Benefits of knowing Jesus as Christ

Benefits of knowing Jesus as Christ

“Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.”

Acts 3:26(KJV)

One of the benefits we have for knowing Jesus as the Christ is the Blessing. We see this in Matthew 16:16-17. Immediately Peter, by revelation, confessed Jesus to be the Christ, Jesus answered and said unto Him, “…Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”

The Bible says in Ephesians 1:3, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” This means that knowing Christ gives us access to all spiritual blessings. Therefore, the man in Christ is blessed with all spiritual blessings.

I want you to know that all blessings are in Christ. Therefore, if Christ lives in you, all blessings are in you. Knowing Christ is the end of all search for the blessing. When you come to know Christ, then you will come to know that you have been called to inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9).

This is because the promise of the blessing was made to Abraham and his seed, and that seed, according to the Bible, is Christ. Galatians 3:16 says, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” Therefore, we can say that Christ is the seed of Abraham, and if we are Christ's, “… then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:29.

Now you have become an heir of God through Christ, according to Galatians 4:7. It means that you are an heir of the blessing through Christ and you have been brought to a place of abundance where all things are yours according to 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, “…For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.”

Confession.

Father, I thank you for I am blessed. I have been called to inherit a blessing in Christ by whom I have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places. I now live a life of abundance and plenty by my union with Christ, for in Him, the blessings of Abraham and all things are mine. Amen.
