“…the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.” —1 Timothy 6:14-15

“…sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.” —1 Timothy 1:10-11

What is God’s blessedness? God’s joy in being God.
God’s glory is the outward manifestation of his perfections;
God’s blessedness is his inner enjoyment of his perfections.

Two Implications

God’s blessedness entails sufficiency. God needs nothing.

God’s blessedness entails invincibility. God fears nothing.

Blessed in the Blessed God

Pursue happiness in the Happy One.

Find strength in the joy of God to stand against temptation.

Rest in this source of peace.
