About Everything We Need. Christians have unlimited spiritual wealth at their disposal. Paul told the Ephesians we have "every spiritual blessing in Christ." In other words, when we receive Jesus Christ as Lord, we also receive all of the spiritual blessings God offers and everything we need in order to live life as God intended. Yet many Christians still choose to live defeated, empty lives as though they were spiritual paupers. Paul's letter to the Ephesians describes the vast resources God has given to believers and issues a call to Christians to live lives consistent with who we already are and what we already have in Christ.
