But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Chris... and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-6
What believers do is that they take the system of the world and apply it to their Christian life. Instead of depending on God's grace for His favor and blessings to flow, they depend on their self-efforts to try to deserve God's favor and blessings. Yet, God's way is not for us to be blessed by our own efforts. You cannot earn God's blessings by your performance. God's blessings are based entirely on His grace. His blessings over your life have to be undeserved, unearned and unmerited. In other words, there is nothing that you can do to deserve His blessings, for they are based entirely on receiving Jesus, and through His finished work, the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
God wants us to stop trying to achieve, and to begin receiving the favor, blessings and healing that Jesus accomplished on the cross.
