YOUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST

 Born-Again believers are rich spiritually, materially and physically but only a few are aware of this fact.

Many Christians believe that they are not to receive any of their inheritance now, nor benefit from it in this present life, but only in the world to come. Now, here is the point: The Scriptures declare that the believer’s inheritance belongs to him NOW, and in the life to come (Eph. 1:11). 

God has made full provisions for your spiritual and temporal needs. In 1 Peter 1:4, the Bible teaches that the inheritance we have in Christ is incorruptible (cannot be destroyed), undefiled, and does not fade away (cannot lose its beauty). 

You possess what God says you possess. Therefore today, I want to show you from the Scriptures “WHAT GOD SAYS YOU HAVE in Christ” – your Inheritance.

Concerning what you possess in Christ, God says that:

1. You have eternal life (Jn. 17:3).

2. You have abundant life (Jn. 10:10).

3. You have all spiritual blessings (Eph. 1:3).

4. Your name is written in the Book of Life (Rev. 3:5; Rev. 13:8; Rev. 20:15).

5. You have Peace (Rom. 5:1).
