Are You Receiving Your Benefits?

Anyone who has worked for a living knows about benefits. Unless your employer is too small to provide things like vacation days, sick days, or health insurance, you probably have received benefits. Usually you need to qualify for them by putting in a certain number or days or months, or perhaps you qualified just by being hired. Benefits are usually very important in attracting good qualified employees to a business. For the employee, they are essential in maintaining a quality lifestyle.

The Lord has exceptional benefits for His people. David expressed it like this:

Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalm103:1-5 NKJV

The only requirement for receiving the Lord's benefits is for you to trust in the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanse you from all sin, and cause your spirit to be born again. (John 3:3) They become effective immediately. There is no other prerequisite. What a deal!
