SPIRITUAL BLESSING - INHERITANCE

"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 1:11-12

The seventh spiritual blessing from Ephesians 1 is the inheritance that is given to us as children of God.  For the believer in Christ, heirship is twofold – we receive inheritance by faith like Abraham and share in the inheritance with Christ as sons. 

God owns everything and as believers, we are guaranteed heirs to God’s estate.  No high position or great wealth compares to becoming an heir of God.  Although we already have obtained this inheritance, all the blessings we have in hand are small in comparison to the future inheritance awaiting every believer.  The believer’s inheritance is an eternal and joyful existence with God – the riches of glory, the presence of God, an eternal home and much more.  It is a grace gift of the Father to his children.

Remember, as a believer in Jesus Christ, you are a child of the Father, chosen to be a member of His family, and heir to all the richness of life - His peace, His joy and His love no matter what your circumstances may be.
