Our Inheritance in Christ, Part 2

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.” 1 Peter 1:3-4

The inheritance from God that each believer shares with Christ is overwhelming. Our inheritance is permanent. Once we trust in Christ as our Savior from sin - our eternal home is guaranteed. While our performance does affect our rewards, it can never alter our relationship as God’s children.

Our inheritance is for today. While the hope of heaven is wonderful, we need encouragement for life’s daily grind. The gift of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word, and fellowship with Him - all part of our inheritance - are applicable for today’s problems: rearing children, marriage, work, relationships. Whatever your need or desire; God’s perspective, wisdom, and help are yours when you ask and seek.

Our inheritance is claimed by faith. Faith is the spiritual means by which God’s promises and provision become ours. Have you placed your faith in Christ for the gift of eternal life? Are you trusting Him today to enjoy the divine inheritance that is yours by God’s grace?

“...that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance...” Acts 26:18
