Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, (Ephesians 1:3)
In Christ, we have been blessed in all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies. God blesses me often, and at first, I thought of blessings of earthly prosperity like he would bless my business but I have learned they are spiritual blessings, not earthly in nature. He says to me "you are blessed more than you know." It has been my prayer that God would enlighten the eyes of my heart so that I may comprehend and he does but I still seem to fall short of comprehending it all. And he still continues to bless me with more. Let us just go over some of the ways we are blessed in Him.
In Him, we were chosen before the creation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4) In Him, we were predestined for adoption as his own, according to the good pleasure of His will. (Ephesians 1:4) Believing in Him we are marked with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee until he takes possession of His own. (Ephesians 1:13-14) In Him, I was favored in the Beloved to the praise of His glorious grace. (Ephesians 1:6) In Him, I received redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of trespasses according to the rich benefits of His grace which he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight. (Ephesians 1:7-8) "Just as David speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered." (Romans 4:6-7) Do we comprehend the blessings we have received in Christ? Truly, we are blessed more than we know.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father; inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Matthew 25:34)
waiting for the blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:13)
In Him, we were chosen before the creation of the world. (Ephesians 1:4) In Him, we were predestined for adoption as his own, according to the good pleasure of His will.

Beloved, at the present existing children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we exist knowing this, seeing that when what is revealed we will exist like him because seeing him just as he is. (1 John 3:2)
As a child, we see dimly into who we are in Christ, as we mature we see more clearly, but this side of earth we will not fully know, but when we see him face to face we will know fully and be like him. Paul writes he has made known to us the mystery of his will which he purposed in Christ, according to His good pleasure. (Ephesians 1:9) According to this purpose, he is working out all for our good, conforming us to the image of His Son. (Romans 8:29) On behalf of his good pleasure, he is working in us, both to will and to work. (Philippians 2:13) We truthfully proclaim Christ when we understand these things, that it is according to his good pleasure. (Philippians 1:15) With this in view, we become worthy of His calling when in his power we are being filled to do his good pleasure, all goodness, and work of faith. (2 Thessalonians 1:11) This is why he was made head of the Church, to fill, all in all, and why the purpose of the Church is said to bring us into the fullness of Him. God purposed this, I am being filled to the fullness of Him, I am blessed more than I know.
The blessings in Him go on and on. Paul writes he chose me in Him before the creation of the world to be holy, in His presence in love. (Ephesians 1:4) Paul proclaims the gospel as infinitely searchable or immeasurable riches in Christ. (Ephesians 3:8) Blessed to exist in the kingdom of heaven, to be comforted by God, to inherit the earth which we know is the one of the new age, to be fully satisfied which we know refers to our soul, to be shown mercy, to be pure in the heart thus see God (which is related to why we were chosen, to exist holy, in his presence in love) and to be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:3-11) To not stumble because of Him. (Matthew 11:6) We are blessed to have eyes to see and ears to hear. (Matthew 13:16) Paul writes the gospel is about the blessings we receive in Christ. The gospel was preached beforehand to Abraham, saying "'in you, all nations will be blessed" so then those who believe are blessed along with Abraham." (Galatians 3:8-9)
We are blessed to have such an anchor, a blessed hope, for our soul both steadfast and sure. Blessed is the one remaining steadfast under trial for he will receive the crown of life. (James 1:12) "And I heard a great voice from the throne saying 'Behold the dwelling place of God is with man and he will dwell with them, they are his people and God himself is with them as their God and he will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death exists no more, mourning and the cry of sorrow and pain will be no more because the former things have passed away. And the one seated on the throne said 'Behold I have made all things new'" (Revelation 21:3-5) Our citizenship subsists in heaven from there we await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Philippians 3:20) We are blessed more than we know.
