They encompass both spiritual and material benefits bestowed by God, often as a result of obedience, faith, and righteousness. Blessings can also be conferred by individuals, such as patriarchs or leaders, invoking God's favor upon others.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context:</b> <br>The concept of blessings is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where it is often associated with God's covenantal promises. In Genesis, God blesses Adam and Eve, instructing them to "be fruitful and multiply" (<a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a>). The patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, receive blessings that include promises of land, descendants, and divine protection. For instance, God tells Abraham, "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing" (<a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2</a>).<br><br>Blessings in the Old Testament are frequently linked to obedience to God's commandments. In <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>, blessings are promised to Israel contingent upon their adherence to God's laws: "And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God" (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-2.htm">Deuteronomy 28:2</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament Context:</b> <br>In the New Testament, blessings take on a more spiritual dimension, emphasizing the eternal and spiritual benefits of being in Christ. Jesus, in the Beatitudes, pronounces blessings on those who exhibit certain virtues, such as the poor in spirit and the peacemakers (<a href="/matthew/5-3.htm">Matthew 5:3-12</a>). These blessings are often paradoxical, highlighting the values of the Kingdom of God as opposed to worldly standards.<br><br>The Apostle Paul speaks of spiritual blessings in Christ, stating, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms" (<a href="/ephesians/1-3.htm">Ephesians 1:3</a>). These blessings include redemption, forgiveness, and the sealing of the Holy Spirit.<br><br><b>Purpose and Function:</b> <br>Blessings serve multiple purposes in the biblical narrative. They are a means of conveying God's favor and approval, a tool for imparting hope and encouragement, and a mechanism for establishing and reinforcing covenantal relationships. They also function as a form of intercession, where individuals invoke God's favor upon others, as seen in the priestly blessing: "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you" (<a href="/numbers/6-24.htm">Numbers 6:24-25</a>).<br><br><b>Human Agency in Blessings:</b> <br>While blessings originate from God, humans play a role in their transmission. Patriarchs, prophets, and priests often pronounce blessings, acting as intermediaries between God and His people. For example, Jacob blesses his sons, imparting prophetic words over their futures (Genesis 49). Similarly, the New Testament encourages believers to bless others, even their persecutors: "Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse" (<a href="/romans/12-14.htm">Romans 12:14</a>).<br><br><b>Conditions and Consequences:</b> <br>Biblical blessings are frequently conditional, dependent on faithfulness and obedience to God's commands. The blessings and curses outlined in <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a> illustrate the consequences of obedience versus disobedience. However, God's grace also allows for blessings that transcend human merit, as seen in the unmerited favor extended through Christ.<br><br><b>Eschatological Aspect:</b> <br>The ultimate blessing for believers is eternal life and communion with God. Revelation describes the eschatological fulfillment of God's blessings, where His servants will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads (<a href="/revelation/22-4.htm">Revelation 22:4</a>). This eternal blessing signifies the consummation of God's redemptive plan and the restoration of creation.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2821.htm"><span class="l">2821. klesis -- a calling</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 2821 (from 2564 , "to call, summon") -- ; used of to receive His gift of salvation --<br> with all His <b>blessings</b> that go with it (Ro 11:29; Eph 4:4; 2 Pet 1:10). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/2821.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1293.htm"><span class="l">1293. berakah -- a blessing</span></a><br><b>...</b> Word Origin from barak Definition a blessing NASB Word Usage benefit (1), blessed<br> (1), blessing (48), <b>blessings</b> (11), generous (1), gift (3), most blessed (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/1293.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/maclaren/expositions_of_holy_scripture_ephesians_peter/all_spiritual_blessings.htm"><span class="l">'All Spiritual <b>Blessings</b>'</span></a> <br><b>...</b> EPHESIANS 'ALL SPIRITUAL <b>BLESSINGS</b>'.
