"It really is a revelation that Jesus didn't only die for our sins but also because He died his testament (new covenant) goes in to effect giving us life, restored privilege and position in His kingdom and blessings. Our inheritance is Him! How far we go to get a worldly inheritance and yet Christians stop at Jesus died for my sins alone and never move on to take hold of Him as their inheritance. May we travel and fight and go great lengths to find Him and His wealth of love."
I think of the prodigal son who asked for his inheritance from his father and got it. Yes he squandered it but he got it nonetheless. Did you also know his brother who wouldn't come in the the party had an inheritance. He was bellyaching that he never had a little goat for him and his friends when his dad came and set him straight. Do you remember what the Father said to the older son? He said "All that I have is yours."
That is a pretty amazing thought. Everything that is God's is ours. He is our Father and anything that is His is also ours. That means we can go get in God's fridge and eat the food we find. We can drive God's car and swim in the pool.
All that He has is ours. He didn't even withhold His Son Jesus so why would He withhold any other good thing from us? Go on, ask God in prayer for what you need. He will give it freely. It is yours because He gave it all at the cross.
How does knowing you have an inheritance from God change your life? How have you taken part in your inheritance from God?
