The Inheritance

God is Eternal

so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:7

With uncertainty looming, high inflation, and a potential stalled economy, many of us may be looking to our inheritance as a way out of debt, or to provide a cushion for the future as savings and personal wealth have deteriorated. The thought of receiving an inheritance can be a relief, but we all know inheritance comes only through personal loss. And, while we may enjoy a few good years because of this gift, at the end of our lives, will what we’ve owned in this life even matter?

What will matter is God’s promise to spend eternity in heaven. It is this eternal inheritance that brings peace in all circumstances because we know our future is secure. Yes, inheritance comes at a steep price, but Jesus willingly died so that we could become heirs to the King. And God’s inheritance is available to all who accept it through faith by His grace.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 1 Peter 1:3-4

Because God is eternal, through Jesus Christ we will inherit the Kingdom of God forever.
