NIV Revelation 1: (3)Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. (5b)To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, (6a)and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father
Blessed is beyond being happy; it is an assurance of a favorable outcome from God. We are freed from our sins; we are no longer powerless against those incessant temptations. We can resist temptation and live righteously.
So, we are blessed for hearing God’s word and living by it, and we are free from our past failures (sins) to serve God and enjoy an abundant life. Praise God that we are continually blessed and free and bless others as well . . .
