AM I BLESSED OR WHAT

Eph 1:1-2
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
NIV
Surely just an introduction, yet I cannot overlook the phrase “faithful in Christ Jesus”. What does that imply? Does it mean there are believers who are not faithful? Does it mean I could be either faithful or not and still be saved? I think not. It is without question in my mind I must remain faithful in Christ Jesus throughout my whole life, even to the end. But what does that mean to be faithful? Should I never waver in my trust of Christ for my salvation? Absolutely! Should I continue to trust Christ to be my advocate with the Father? Absolutely! What would I be without Christ? Lost in a dying world! How can I not be faithful in Christ, I have no other means to be saved from the jaws of death. I cannot help think of the Passover, when the death angel passed over those who had the blood of the lamb sprinkled on their doorposts. I have the blood of the lamb sprinkle on the doorpost of my heart, my spirit. The death angel must pass over me; I am not subject to his power, but am covered by the blood. I will not experience death, but everlasting life. How could I ever give in and not be faithful and in doing so I also get the grace and peace from God our Father as well as Jesus Christ my Lord. I receive His divine influence upon my life, and His prosperity as well. Am I blessed or what?
