MANY BLESSINGS IN CHRIST
The salvation we have in Christ opens up the gates of the Kingdom of God and more. The Apostle Paul wrote about this in the following text.
I thank my God always concerning you
For the grace of God which was given to you
By Christ Jesus,
That you were enriched in everything by Him
In all utterance and all knowledge,
Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
So that you come short in no gift, eagerly awaiting
For the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who will also confirm you to the end,
That you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8
