~ Christian, Do You Understand Your
Inheritance? ~
Saints Inheritance Prepared
~ “Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant
mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, to an inheritance
incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for
you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to
be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5). “But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have
entered into the heart of man the things
which God has prepared for those who love Him’” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Saints Made Ready For The Inheritance
~ “For
this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you,
and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom
and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully
pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge
of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all
patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has
qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the
light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the
kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His
blood, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians
1:9-14). “In Him we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to
abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the
mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,
that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together
in one all things in Christ, both which
are in heaven and which are on earth — in Him.
In Him also we have obtained an
inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all
things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in
Christ should be to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians
1:7-12).
Saints Future Home Prepared
~ Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God,
believe also in Me. In My Father’s house
are many mansions; if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you
know” (John 14:1-4).
Saints Crown of Righteousness
~ “Finally,
there is laid up for me the crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that
Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing” (2 Timothy
4:8).
