There is a payoff for this!

Our Heavenly Father is righteous and honorable. He does not hold one responsible for the sins of another. Ezekiel 18:20 (Amp) states: “The person who sins [is the one that] will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the sin of the father, nor will the father bear the punishment for the sin of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on himself.” Many look at the unrighteous and wonder why it seems like they get away with everything. Don’t ever be deceived; all that they trust in will eventually fail. But for the righteous, our Heavenly Father will reward them with blessings, even though they might suffer persecution for a season. God is faithful and He will bless the righteous!

Proverbs 11:31 – If the righteous will be rewarded on the earth [with godly blessings], How much more [will] the wicked and the sinner [be repaid with punishment]!

The highest blessing!

The Apostle Paul understood by revelation that in Christ, we are already blessed with all spiritual blessings. The Greek word for blessed (eulogeo) in this verse  speaks of causing someone to prosper, to make one happy, to speak well of. The Apostle let us know that in Christ, we are not attempting to get blessed, or begging God to bless us. He is our loving Heavenly Father, and it pleased Him to bless us in Christ. But the highest blessing, or the true riches that He gave us is found in Colossians 1:27:  ”To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”. The true, lasting riches is Christ in you. If you have Christ in you, you have everything, and you are truly blessed beyond measure. He is the one that meets all your needs, according to His riches in Glory. Through Him, we are born again into the family of God. We are adopted into the Royal family, and as you know, the ones who get the inheritance are the sons and daughters! 

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
