Words of Ministry | |
All the blessings, benefits, and bounties in the universe are of three categories. The first category is God's creation, the second is God's redemption, and the third is God's regeneration. In God's creation we enjoy so many good things: air, sunshine, minerals, animal life, vegetable life. All these are good things of God's creation, and we are qualified to partake of them because we are God's creatures. Furthermore, as the redeemed ones, we enjoy forgiveness of sins, justification by faith, reconciliation in God's grace, and sanctification. Because we are redeemed, all the benefits in God's redemption are ours. Moreover, because we have been regenerated, we enjoy God's life, His nature, and His Person. By these three qualifications-being created, redeemed, and regenerated?we are fully and thoroughly qualified to enjoy all the blessings in the universe, the blessings in God's creation, redemption, and regeneration. The angels may be sinless, but they are not qualified to enjoy all these blessings. But through the blood of Christ, we enjoy forgiveness of sins, the washing of the blood, justification by faith, and peace with God. We enjoy all the blessings of Christ's redemption. Furthermore, we daily enjoy all the benefits and bounties of God's regeneration. We have the divine life, the divine nature, and the divine Person. What could be higher than this? Today we enjoy the Creator, the Redeemer, and the Father. The Greek word for blessed means well spoken of, praised with adoration; and the Greek word for blessing means good speech, good utterance, implying bounty and benefit. Used with respect to God, this blessing is a laudation, a genuine praise, even a praise to God on the highest level. Paul uses this word to speak well concerning God, to utter fine praise, even beautiful praise, to Him. The God whom we bless has blessed us. God's well-speaking concerning us encompasses the entire New Testament. In the New Testament God speaks well regarding us. The entire New Testament is filled with God's beautiful speech concerning us. If you want to hear God's well-speaking, you need to read the New Testament and say amen to every aspect of it. He chose us before the foundation of the world. Amen. He chose us to be holy and without blemish. Amen. We bless God, because God has blessed us. Because He has spoken so well concerning us, we return the well-speaking to Him. For example, when we read about [God's choosing, we should say, “God, how I thank You that You chose me. You chose to come into me. Because You are in me, I have your holy nature, and I am becoming holy like You. God, how I thank You for this!”] To speak like this is to return the well-speaking to Him. Thus, He blesses you, and you bless Him. After listening to God's well-speaking concerning us, we are qualified to speak well of Him.
