“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.” — Ephesians 1:3
1. What does it means to be “united with Christ?”
2. What are some blessings you’ve received from God?
We’ve been talking about all the ways that God has blessed us because “we are united with Christ.” Let’s do a quick review:
— God Created Everything: You are chosen! You are created!
— Everything in Christ: You are loved!
— God Gives Everyone Salvation: You are saved!
— Everyone through Christ: You are new! You are free!
— Every Way Like Christ: You are rooted! You are called!
— I Grow in Every Way: You are growing!
— Every Day Like Christ: You are strong! You are bold!
— I Go Every Day: You are ready!

There are three very important truths that I want you to remember:
Truth #1: You were made on purpose for a purpose. Everything He has done from the beginning of time is for reason, and you are a part of His master plan.
Truth #2: You can trust God and His Word. Everything He says is true and intended to help you.
Truth #3: God loves you and sent Jesus: Everything He has done is because you mean the world to Him—so much that He gave up His Son to have a relationship with you.
Once you understand those three truths, you are going to equipped and ready to accept God’s call for your life—to love God and love others!
That’s what being united with Christ is all about. That’s why God wants to give us all of these spiritual blessings—so that we can do His will and help others experience His love.
Wrap-Up
“Dear God, thank You for all of Your spiritual blessings. I want to love You more and love others better. Help me trust and obey Your Word so I can fulfill the purpose to which I have been called. Amen.”
