The Blessings Of Heaven And Earth

Hebrews 1:8-14 ESV 

But of the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,

the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

therefore God, your God, has anointed you

with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”

And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,

and the heavens are the work of your hands;

they will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment,

like a robe you will roll them up,

like a garment they will be changed.

But you are the same,

and your years will have no end.”

And to which of the angels has he ever said,

“Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?

Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?


We are not God and will never be. But the Bride of Christ will be joined with Him in a unique and intimate way. He is the Son of God through whom the sons of God, that is you and me, will be fellow heirs of God. Our inheritance is the eternal life of Christ.(Rev 2:7) This is the salvation of mankind. The life of Christ includes all the blessings of heaven. We will sit at the right hand of the right hand of God.(Rev 3:21)


The garments of grave clothes will be changed into garments of righteousness for all who leave the darkness of the grave for the light of day. 


We have been doubly blessed with the blessings of heaven and earth. First we are given life on the earth and then given the life of Christ. We receive a double blessing as a favored son. They come together in Jesus Christ and are made one.
