Blessed are those who wash their robes,
so that they will have the right to the tree of life, and may enter the city by the gates.
[For] Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying..
Revelation of Jesus Christ to John 22:14-15 NASB20
Doxology – Blessed are YOU, LORD God!
Beatitude, we think; ‘Blessed are you when..’
and Jesus personally embraces the crowds in His sermon on the mount. Doxology, however, is when we bless God.
Praise God from whom all blessing flow.
In Christ Jesus doxology becomes the sweet water of God’s love flowing towards us from our Father in heaven and the tree of eternal life.
Throughout the Bible faithful men praise the LORD, ‘Blessed are you, O Lord’ and the LORD also blessed them of His chosen ones.
Scriptures
I will not quote all Books from both the Old and New Testaments. So here I will mention just a few favorite quotes. Perhaps my favorite is the warm personal greeting of Paul and Timothy to Corinth and their praise of God.
2 Samuel 6:18
Psalm 34:8
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
2 Corinthians 1
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Timothy, To the church of God which is at Corinth with all the saints who are throughout Achaia:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
