33 Blessings in Christ (continued)

The disciple is also indwelt by the Spirit (Rom. 8.9), sealed by the Spirit (2 Cor. 1.22), making him/her eternally secure, and filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5.18) whose ministry releases his power and effectiveness in the heart in which he dwells. 31. A believer is glorified - Rom. 8.18. He/she will be a partaker of the infinite story of the Godhead.

32. A believer is complete in God - Col. 2.9, 10. He/she partakes of all that Christ is.

33. A believer possesses every spiritual blessing - Eph. 1.3. All the riches tabulated in the other 32 points made before are to be included in this sweeping term, “all spiritual blessings.”

Come Thou Fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love. Here I raise my Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace now like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing , Robert Robinson, 1757
