Psalm 106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
Blessings come to those who obey God’s covenant commands and live out righteous lives according to God’s Law. The benefits and blessings of living life according to God’s revealed way are numerous, but are not necessarily material blessings. God provides daily bread, rain and sun for the “just and the unjust,” but the believer enjoys these blessings with gratitude and peace. The true blessings from the Lord are things like love, peace, joy and hope.
We repent and believe the Gospel, are forgiven, healed and restored, and all true blessings come from the only source of life. A blessed life starts from God, flows through us, returns back to God, and we are blessed forever. Then out of faith and thankfulness and the working of the Spirit through the gospel, we keep the Law and do righteousness. It is God’s doing and not we ourselves. We are saved for good works that the Lord has planned in us. It is God who fills us and uses to do good.
