Deuteronomy 28:2 - all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the LORD your God. (listed till Vs.14)
God loves to bless us. Now, you may think that you may not qualify for God’s blessings because of the “if” clause here, and in the preceding verse. You know that no matter however hard you try, you just cannot keep all of God’s commandments. In fact, the Bible says that if you fail to keep just one commandment, you fail to keep all. (James 2:10). But you are being blessed! How?
Because, Jesus is the one who came to qualify us for every single blessing because He has kept all of God’s commandments. When He died for us on the cross, He redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 3:13)… but the blessings of the law remained… so, the blessings of yesteryears are still ours today! Believe this and receive the blessings by faith!”
The law says, “You must deserve the blessings.” But “From HIS fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (Jn 1:16-17). So receive the blessings by grace, through faith in the merits of Jesus.
We don’t receive, because it is a question of how much we believe God for His blessings. We should know that in Christ, all of God’s promises are “Yes”, and because we are in Christ, we can say “Amen!” to His blessings! (2 Cor 1:20)
Thought for the day!
