All you seem to do is post ridicule at efforts to present biblical doctrine. Our inheritance was not earned, but our rewards are earned. To deny this is to deny the obvious, no amount of ridicule will alter scripture.
Returning to Ephesians 1:1-3:
I think "to the faithful in Christ" refers only to those God has spiritually transferred into Christ, and thus they are the saved, saints set apart in Christ.
If God chooses to allow us to endure a "thorn in our side" that means a particular grace has not been bestowed, but once saved, our outlook should be "your [saving]grace is sufficient for me."
I think inner peace comes from the knowledge (or belief) that we are saved, and no matter what happens now, we can rest easy in the hope of our eternal life with Christ.
Blessings are whatever come our way that is good - all good things come from God. Thus while the blessings in view here are spiritual blessings, blessings are not limited to spiritual blessings.
And to repeat, positional sanctification, I believe, refers to being placed spiritually in (within) Christ where we undergo the washing of regeneration, the circumcision of Christ, and arise a new creation, born anew, made alive, and then sealed in Christ forever with the Holy Spirit.
