Blessed -- The New Testament

BLESSED - NEW TESTAMENT

Yesterday I shared with you passages from the Old Testament describing the blessings that are already ours because of our relationship with our great God. Here are some examples this morning from the New Testament ...

1. Blessed are the poor in spirit (Matthew 5:3).

2. Blessed are those who mourn (Matthew 5:4)

3. Blessed are the gentle (Matthew 5:5)

4. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness
(Matthew 5:6)

5. Blessed are the merciful (Matthew 5:7)

6. Blessed are the pure in heart (Matthew 5:8)

7. Blessed are the peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)

8. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of
righteousness (Matthew 5:10)

9. Blessed are you when men cast insults at you ... (Matthew 5:11)

10. Blessed are they who believe even though they
have not seen Him (John 20:29)

11. Blessed are they whose sin has been covered!
(Romans 4:7)

12. Blessed is the man because the Lord does not
take into account his sin! (Romans 4:7)

13. Blessed is the man who perseveres under
trials (James 1:12)

14. Blessed is the man who reads and hears the
prophecy of Revelation (Revelation 1:3)

15. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps
his garments (Revelation 16:15)

16. Blessed are those who are invited to the
marriage supper of the Lamb (Revelation 19:9)

17. Blessed are those who have a part in the
first resurrection (Revelation 20:6)

18. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the
prophecy (Revelation 22:7)

19. Blessed are those who wash their robes
(Revelation 22:14)

This is certainly not an exhaustive list from the New Testament, but I was blown away at how blessed we already are before we even begin to petition the God of Israel to abundantly bless us ... INDEED! So today my friend, I trust you will have an even greater understanding of how wonderfully blessed you are ... Are you bold enough today to ask HIM to bless you ... abundantly bless your life today? Jabez was ... how about you?
