The way the blessings in Christ appear in the Bible is not a reflection of the importance each subsequent blessing has over the previous blessing. It is just a chronological order that the Holy Spirit placed within the Bible although I get the feeling that He placed them the way it is done now as a building block in faith.
Being 'Alive to God in Christ" is one of the most important doctrine that we can find in the Scriptures. If the answer to being alive to God is to be found in Christ, then the opposite is true - as far as God is concerned, death is there when Christ is not in the picture.
An interesting observation is that wherever the Gospel of Christ had gone to, there is progress and the lives of the people are set free. Ever seen photographs of people in the dark parts of Papua New Guinea or Africa or even in the Amazon area of South America? If you look into their eyes, you cannot help but will notice that their eyes do not sparkle. Why? They do not have the joy of life and therefore sadness surround them all the time.
So, let the truth be know that there is life as far as God is concerned when we have Christ in our lives; never allow the devil to steal that truth away from you. Yes, life has its challenges but when we look away from our daily problems and be thankful for what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ had accomplished for us on the cross, hey our problems do not seem to be so big after all. They will actually shrink in proportion to our faith. Try that some time and you will learn to be "alive to God in Christ". I know because I have been there and still am.
