Deuteronomy 28 Blessings
Christians understand that the blessings described in Deuteronomy 28:1–14 for obedience to God are available through Christ, who fulfilled the Law and enables us to walk in obedience by faith (see Galatians 3:13–14, Ephesians 1:3).
Here’s a modern English list of the blessings from Deuteronomy 28:1–14, simplified for easy reading and clarity:
✅ Blessings for Obedience to God (Deuteronomy 28:1–14)
-
God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
→ You’ll have influence, favor, and respect. -
You’ll be blessed wherever you go — in the city and in the country.
→ Whether you live in a busy place or a quiet one, God’s blessings will follow you. -
Your children will be blessed.
→ Your family will thrive and be healthy. -
Your land and crops will be blessed.
→ Whatever you plant or produce will grow abundantly. -
Your livestock will be blessed.
→ Your income, business, and resources will increase. -
Your food and your daily needs will be blessed.
→ Your pantry and fridge will never run empty. -
You will be blessed when you come in and when you go out.
→ Every part of your life will be covered in God’s protection and favor. -
God will defeat your enemies who rise against you.
→ They will come at you one way and run away from you in seven. -
God will bless your work and everything you put your hand to.
→ Your job, projects, and efforts will succeed. -
God will establish you as His holy people.
→ You’ll be known as someone who belongs to Him. -
Everyone will see that you are called by God, and they’ll respect you.
→ Your life will show God's presence and power. -
God will give you great prosperity.
→ He’ll bless your home, your children, and your finances. -
God will send rain in season and bless all the work of your hands.
→ You’ll have provision exactly when you need it, and your efforts will be fruitful. -
You will lend to many nations but will not borrow.
→ You’ll be financially strong and not dependent on others. -
God will make you the head and not the tail.
→ You’ll be a leader, not a follower; an influencer, not a victim. -
You’ll always be on top and never at the bottom.
→ You’ll live in victory, not defeat.
⚠️ Important Note:
These blessings were given to Israel conditional on obedience to God’s commands (Deut. 28:1–2). As Christians, these promises are fulfilled in Christ and made available through faith and obedience under the new covenant.
- Galatians 3:29 – “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
- Ephesians 1:3 – “God has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.”

The Gospel of Reconciliation
This is a rich and powerful theological truth Paul explains especially in Ephesians 2, and it has huge implications for both Jews and Gentiles in Christ. Let’s walk through it carefully, breaking down:
📖 Context: Ephesians 2:11–22
Paul is addressing Gentile believers (non-Jews), reminding them of their former alienation and how Christ has reconciled them with Jewish believers into one unified body.
✡️ 1. Gentiles Were Once Excluded (Eph. 2:11–12)
Paul says:
“Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth... were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.”
- Gentiles had no access to the covenants made with Israel (including the Sinai covenant and the Abrahamic promises).
- They were alienated, spiritually and nationally.
- The Law (Sinai covenant) was a major dividing (wall) line between Jew and Gentile — it created a boundary of holiness and separation.
✝️ 2. Christ Tore Down the "Middle Wall of Partition" (Eph. 2:13–16)
Paul continues:
“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in His flesh the law with its commands and regulations.”
🔍 What is the “middle wall of partition”?
- Literal reference: In the Jewish temple, there was a physical wall (the "soreg") that separated Gentiles from entering into the inner courts where Jews worshiped. To go past it was punishable by death.
- Spiritual meaning: The Law of Moses (Sinai Covenant) acted as a spiritual barrier — it:
- Highlighted Israel’s special status as God’s chosen people.
- Required ceremonial, civil, and moral distinctions that set them apart from other nations.
- Made Gentiles unclean and disqualified them from entering fully into covenant blessings.
But Christ, through His death, fulfilled the Law and thus tore down this legal and spiritual barrier.
🩸 3. The Law Removed Through the Cross (Colossians 2:14 parallel)
Paul in Colossians says:
“Having canceled the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross.” (Col. 2:14)
- Jesus didn’t abolish the moral righteousness of the Law, but He abolished it as a system that:
- Condemned both Jews and Gentiles.
- Divided the two groups.
- Required ritual separation.
🤝 4. One New Man in Christ (Eph. 2:15–16)
“His purpose was to create in Himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross.”
- Christ didn’t just save Gentiles separately — He united them with believing Jews into one body.
- He created a new spiritual race: not Jew, not Gentile — but Christian.
- The Church is this "new man", where the old divisions are gone.
🏛️ 5. Access to God Through One Spirit (Eph. 2:18–22)
“For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit... You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of His household.”
- Gentiles are now:
- Fellow citizens with the saints.
- Heirs of the promises made to Abraham (Galatians 3:29).
- Part of the spiritual temple God is building.
📜 Summary: How the Sinai Covenant Was Removed
| Component | Before Christ | After Christ |
|---|---|---|
| The Law (Sinai Covenant) | Divided Jews & Gentiles, kept Gentiles from full covenant access | Fulfilled and abolished as a dividing wall |
| The Temple wall | Gentiles excluded from inner worship | All believers have equal access to the Father |
| God's People | Jews (by birth or conversion to Judaism) | All in Christ (Jew + Gentile) are one body |
| Heirs of Abraham’s promise | Physical descendants (plus some Gentile proselytes) | All who are in Christ (Gal. 3:29) |
🧩 Related Passages
- Romans 10:4 – “Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
- Galatians 3:28–29 – “There is neither Jew nor Gentile... for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
- Hebrews 8:13 – The old covenant is “obsolete and aging” and “will soon disappear.”
✅ Conclusion
Paul teaches that through Christ’s death:
- The Sinai covenant (the Law) that divided Jew from Gentile is no longer in force.
- Christ fulfilled and removed it as a system that separated.
- Now, both Jews and Gentiles can be part of one new humanity, God’s Church, and joint heirs of the promises made to Abraham.
- This is the gospel of reconciliation — peace with God and unity with one another.

The Birth of Jesus - Hypostatic Union
Here’s a brief but theologically rich description of the birth of Jesus that highlights its divine nature:
Jesus Was Not A Socialist
Jesus: Black or White?
Jesus was neither white (as in European) nor black (as in sub-Saharan African) in the modern racial sense. He was a Jewish man from the Middle East, born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth in 1st-century Judea, a region in what is today Israel/Palestine.
Likely Appearance Based on History and Anthropology:
- Skin Tone: Likely olive or medium brown, typical of Semitic peoples in the region at that time.
Jesus was a Judean not a Palestinian, but He was a Refugee
Jesus was a Jew from the region of Judea, making him a Judean. The term "Judean" is the origin of the English word "Jew". Jesus's identity is inextricably linked to his Jewish heritage, which includes his adherence to the Second Temple Judaism, his observance of Jewish festivals, and his worship in synagogues. His interactions with Jewish people and his teachings were all within the context of Jewish life during his time.

Why Christians Should Avoid Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words:
- "Rei" meaning “universal”
- "Ki" meaning “life energy”
How It Works:
Practitioners believe that they can channel healing energy into a person by placing their hands lightly on or just above the body. The idea is that this energy promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by balancing the body’s energy flow.
