God's blessings are the good things he does for us, whether in our spiritual life, circumstances, provision of practical needs etc. Note (1)We are blessed because we are redeemed, and forgiven, receiving the riches of his grace as he had made known to us the mystery of his will in heaven.I want us to look at the word be Fruitful John 15:5 Matthew 13:3-9 psalm 1:3 Galatians 5:22-23 Tobe fruitful means to live a good life that produces good works and reflects the characters of Christ.
