(Eph 1:3 [NET])
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.
There's no verb for 'is' in the text, so it could be 'is' or 'be' and neither one is really wrong. I like 'is' because it indicates God's state of being, rather than a statement of what we think about Him.
He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which indicates His priority in the functioning of the Trinity:
It is by His will that we are blessed, even as the blessing itself is delivered by Christ. And Christ does not hold back even ONE blessing that the Father has lavished on Him. We have them ALL, right now.
