Ephesians 1.11
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.
The day you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you were born into the family of God. You got born again. You were included in Christ and in Him you received a possession, a heritage, an inheritance.
Peter says we were born into an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for us. God has not only given us a rich inheritance in Christ but He has also qualified us to partake, to enjoy the inheritance. He cannot enjoy it for us. Its for us, we have to enjoy the inheritance of the saints in the light. Paul said to the Ephesians church elders, I commend you to God and to the word of his grace which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. As we grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we will enjoy and partake of the inheritance that God has so graciously given us because of the finished works of Jesus Christ. It's one thing to have the inheritance and it's absolutely another to enjoy and partake of it. The day you got born again, you were marked, stamped and sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee that this inheritance belongs to you now and that you are qualified by God to use it and enjoy it.
Friend, In Christ, your wealth is beyond measure. You are extremely wealthy. Paul knew we couldn't comprehend this with our minds, hence he prayed that the eyes of our understanding being enlightened, that we may know the glorious riches of the inheritance in the saints. Our part is to grow in the revelation knowledge of this inheritance so we can partake of it and bless humanity. Praise the Lord.
