God’s primal blessing is so shocking that, despite it being in plain language in the very first chapter of the Bible and echoed throughout, many modern theologians recoil at the thought and try to minimize it and reverse it and undo it.

But it can’t be undone.

Great question! Let’s explore!

This episode digs deeper into “eulogia” (εὐλογίᾳ meaning ‘blessing’) in Ephesians 1:3.

Ephesians 1:3 - “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” (NIV)
