GOODLY HERITAGE: MADE POSSIBLE BY JESUS CHRIST – SAVIOUR AND LORD OF ALL!
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no RESPECTER [PARTIALITY] of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him. 36 The WORD which God sent unto the children of Israel, PREACHING peace by Jesus Christ: (He is LORD OF ALL)” Acts 10:34-36.
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of His GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
The best and ultimately incomparable, indescribable and unimaginable INHERITANCE ever to have in life and grace is having Jesus Christ as SAVIOUR and LORD, in one’s being, in the cause and course of doing life and living godly in the grace – AMEN. And by the reason of the REDEMPTION deed by God in Christ Jesus, we’ve been JUSTIFIED and QUALIFIED to have ACCESS to an inheritance in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For God is no RESPECTER of persons, an indicative that God shows no partiality, but accept and honour all those who by His WORD walk in the path of RIGHTEOUSNESS irrespective that He might both the Saviour and the Lord of ALL.
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER of DARKNESS and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by faith into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] stand. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/Amplified.
And it’s as we stay steadfast in the faith and by faith, and walk in the grace that we can enact, authenticate and actualised the REDEMPTION deed as to our heritage in Christ Jesus stead. For in Christ Jesus, we live, move and have our being [Acts 17:28]. And living, is living for Christ Jesus, in the CAUSE of advancing the Kingdom of God and keeping the enemy.
“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]. 22 If, however, it is to be life here and I am to go on living, this will mean useful and productive service for me; so I do not know which to choose [if I am given that choice]” Philippians 1:21-22/Amplified.
“For in Him we LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually have OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For WE also ARE His children” Acts 17:28/Amplified.
Being born of God as a New Creation in Christ Jesus, is just awesomely awesome and I couldn’t have ask for anything else MORE. I am daily super excited, contented and fulfilled both meaningfully and purposefully in all that pertains doing life [toward earthly living] and living godly [toward heavenly living] that’s endowed to us all in Christ Jesus.
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in THE KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has given to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through THE KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by GLORY and VIRTUE, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4/NKJV.
The book of Hebrews 6:10-12, thus indicate that as we do life diligently and not being slothful [sluggard], and walk in faith and patience in the grace, we cause the enabling of the heritage [Inheritance] deed made available to us as a result of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, to be operative in the process of being redeemed in Him.
SELAH – PRAISE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“In whom also we have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12.
“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are fallen unto me in PLEASANT places; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE. 7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope . . .11 Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:5-11.
“But God forbid that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.
“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but faith which worketh by love” Galatians 5:6.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH are blessed with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither BOND nor FREE, there is neither MALE nor FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
“Give none offence, NEITHER to the JEWS, nor to the GENTILES, nor to the CHURCH of God: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
