Blessed by the spirit: So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way

There is no greater blessing than reaching maturity as a person. And this maturity implies a new spiritual birth by which we know the will of God with a wise and understanding heart. This is what the apostle Paul request for the believers of the Colossian church, that they receive this new life, which is the eternal life, the life that once received cannot be taken away:
"We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us in the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:9-14.

Pleasing God and bearing good fruit, that is the essence of the Christian life, Paul reminds us. The meaning of life as explained by Jesus is to increase the spiritual gifts, as explains the master in the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), this is to please God. To search for everything that is perfect, because everything that is perfect is also good: "But test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil", Thessalonians 5:21-22.
This is how we show that we have been blessed and redeemed from the slavery of the sin, and that we belong to this new Kingdom, which is the Kingdom of wisdom and light.
