Blessed Pt 2

*Galatians 3:9 (NASB) 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.

Galatians 3:13 (NASB)13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

I. Who You Are Is Blessed / How You

How he lived did not change

he was.

*Deuteronomy 28:3 (NASB) 3 “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

Deuteronomy 28:2-8 (NLT) 2 You will experience all these blessings if you obey the LORD your God: 3 Your towns and your fields will be blessed. 4 Your children and your crops will be blessed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be blessed. 5 Your fruit baskets and breadboards will be blessed. 6 Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed. 7 “The LORD will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they will scatter from you in seven! 8 “The LORD will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you*

2 Corinthians 5:7 (TPT) 7 for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes

*Psalms 92:12-15 (NASB) 12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green, 15 To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Philippians 3:9 (NASB) 9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,*

Justification is the change of our nature; Sanctification changes our circumstances.
