For the Next Lesson
1. Read Ephesians 1:3. There are three references to bless (either blessed or blessing). They all have slightly different meanings. Try to say what each one means.
2. How can a mere human being bless God? In what ways are you accomplishing Paul’s command in your life?
3. What has God blessed us with according to verse three? How does that make you feel?
4. Read verses 4-14. Make a list of each spiritual blessing Paul references and try to define each one.
5. Which one do you appreciate or value the most? Say why.
6. Paul seems to harp on God’s “glorious grace”. Try to explain God’s grace, what makes it glorious and in what way it relates to this passage.
