The Inheritance

"... if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed,

and heirs according to the promise," Galatians 3'29.

It sounds incredible, but if you are a Believer in Jesus, you began receiving from God even before you first expressed your faith.

When He died, rose again and ascended to heaven Jesus left everything that had to do with Him and all that He had achieved, to His Called-Out Ones.

He left the greatest of all legacies. It's the Believers' inheritance. And the Holy Spirit ministers it. 

Like salvation, The Inheritance is both present and future. (Unless otherwise stated the focus of the messages on this website is on The Inheritance as it is in the present.)

Most Believers can look back to occasions when they felt that God had moved in their lives before they were saved.

These "movings" were the workings of the Holy Spirit. Genesis chapter one verse two shows the first instance of His moving:

"And the earth was without form and void;

and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters". 

"Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light," Genesis 1'2-3. This seems to be a pattern: the Spirit moves and God speaks the Word.

In the case of those who respond to the Spirit moving in their lives, Paul says:

"... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation," Romans 10'9-10.

A number of powerful things happened then. Here's one of them:

"... God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,

... has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God

in the face of Jesus Christ," 2 Corinthians 4'6.

Here's the abundant nature of The Inheritance:

"... when the kindness and the love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us,

through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life," Titus 3'4-7.

As it says, these things only happen because of two of God's amazing characteristics: His mercy and His grace.

Christ's New Covenant Kingdom Inheritance is available because of them.

Now a new Believer can partake of the inheritance. The first thing to receive is the assurance of salvation, meaning they are no longer a sinner.

This understanding is especially important because Satan is quick to suggest otherwise.

At this crucial stage a Believer needs to understand:

that the Father "... has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light" (Colossians 1'12).

Believers do not have to attempt to be qualified because the Father has already done it for us.

"He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love," Colossians 1'12-13.

This is true qualification! The enemy aims to distract Christ's People from this powerful truth and gain access into their lives.

The scriptures of Acts 2'1 to Revelation 3'22 show instances of Believers learning, partaking by faith and experiencing the inheritance.

Among those scriptures that God has given is the Letter to the Hebrew Believers.

In chapter 5'12 to 6'2 the Spirit-led writer refers to having taught them "the first principles of the oracles of God" which he also refers to as the "elementary principles of Christ".

These oracles of God are essential for every Believer. And because he made a list of them they are available today.

Through the Holy Spirit they provide the basic understandings and experiences that the Lord left for all Believers to receive (see Your Kingdom Foundation on the Menu).

When Jesus intervened in the life of the unconverted man, Paul, He commanded him to go to the Gentiles to carry out a purpose on His behalf.

Here's the commission He gave him (Acts 26'18):

"... to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God,

that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me".

::

If you have received Christ, you are one of them.

And your heavenly Father has qualified you to be a partaker by faith of the promises of The Inheritance.
