"The Blessed of God" are those whom God predestinated before the world was formed, Eph. 1:5, those who embody many of his holy attributes. These are the ones he identifies and chooses because he sees something of himself in them. King Jesus addresses this subject in Matt. 5 when he was teaching on the "Beatitudes", King Jesus was talking regarding the many attributes he brought to us from his Father in heaven, and we must all also desire and possess God's likeness through his only Son.
Paul in his teachings of Christ expresses great joy in coming to his disciples to impart to them all the heavenly virtues and excellencies he received from King Jesus upon his conversion and after he spent much time alone with Christ. He comes to them to bestow upon them what they need to be able to endure great test and trials to bring them into the fullness of these blessings leading them to spiritual maturity in Christ and the unity of faith where
one day they will receive great rewards equal to the test or trial which they endured.
Until we all come into this unity of faith we must constantly examine ourselves so that we are not without knowledge of the gospel, not offended to be named one of Christ servants, and not ashamed of the gospel
but full of knowledge, wisdom, joy and gladness in serving the LORD in truth. We can receive these great blessings and rewards mentioned in Rev. 5:12 when we know the Lamb of God in the fellowship of his sufferings Phil. 3:10. We are the blessed of God because we are forgiven, we hunger and thirst after righteousness, we avoid wickedness and so much more.
Saint's of God I know that you will be blessed as you listen to this awesome sermon and allow the richness of the message to touch your heart and soul to stir you to victory and not defeat as you reach spiritual maturity in Christ serving God through his only Son, King Jesus. Praise God, keep fighting with the weapons of our warfare and the whole armour of God on and you will receive the victory as we all fight together united in faith over all God's enemies.
