God's blessing or blessings are of His grace?

Hi. Please help. I think the word "blessing" can be both countable and uncountable -- uncountable, if meant generally and countable if meant individual instances or examples. Now, which is correct? I want to say something like God's blessing or blessings are from Him, and the source of it is His grace.Thank you for your anticipated help

1. God's blessing is of His grace. -- Is the word "blessing" uncountable here?
2. God's blessings is of His grace.

Hi. Would you please tell me which is correct? I am not sure the sentence is correct or not but I want to write about Jesus Christ having freed us from sin and punishment by dying on the cross. Thank you in advance.

1. Jesus freed us from our sin and punishment.
2. Jesus freed us from our sins and punishment.
3. Jesus freed us from our sins and punishments.

I'd go with #2. The only punishment for all our sins is eternity in ****, I think.
