As believers in Christ, we are sons of God and heirs of God, for God is our inheritance for our enjoyment and we are His possession for His enjoyment; our inheritance is the Triune God, for we have been regenerated in the resurrection of Christ unto a living hope, unto an inheritance! Hallelujah!
Lord, unveil us to see our status as heirs of God. May we see what we are and who we are according to Your word. Amen, Lord, thank You for our regeneration in the resurrection of Christ. Wow, through regeneration we believers have become heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ! Amen, with Christ, we inherit God, and we have all things as our inheritance! We love You, Lord! We want to grow in life today. Bring us on to maturity so that we may enter into the enjoyment of our divine inheritance! Praise the Lord! Amen!
Isn’t it amazing to consider what we are by the Lord’s grace? Wow, if we read the Bible, no matter how low we think we are, in God’s eyes, we believers in Christ are heirs of God.
We may be children of God now, quite immature and making many mistakes, but we are growing in life to be sons of God, those who are led by the Spirit of God, and we are being matured and we suffer with Christ so that we may become heirs of God.
We are in Christ and of Christ; by means of our faith in Christ, we are joined to Christ to be one spirit with Him, and now we are in Christ. By virtue of being in Christ, we are in the Seed who inherits the blessing.
All that Christ is and has, all that He has done, and all that God is and has is now our portion for our enjoyment. We can have a foretaste of this wonderful inheritance by means of the Spirit with our spirit, for the Holy Spirit is the pledge of our inheritance.
May we realise that we are no longer under law or under any regulation but under grace to enjoy all that God is. May we enter into the enjoyment of our inheritance in Christ by exercising our spirit to receive and enjoy all that God is!
And may we come to the Lord’s word and to the meetings of the church so that we may be infused more with Christ, to gain more of Christ, and to be built up more with the believers in Christ into the church, the Body of Christ.
Thank the Lord that, under the new testament, we believers in Christ are God’s chosen people, being sons of full age, to be heirs of God who are not under law but in Christ! Hallelujah!
If we pray this to the Lord and stand on this fact, we will enter into the enjoyment of Christ in a full way.
We have been Regenerated unto a Living Hope unto an Inheritance – the Triune God is our Inheritance and we are His Possession
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has regenerated us unto a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for us (1 Pet. 1:3-4).
We believers in Christ have been regenerated unto a living hope, unto an inheritance.
What is this living hope? What is this inheritance? We know that the pledge of our inheritance is the Holy Spirit; if the pledge is spiritual, then the inheritance must also be spiritual.
God doesn’t promise us to have material possessions – He gives Himself to us as our inheritance. The Triune God is our inheritance.
When we enjoy the Spirit with our spirit today, we have a pledge, a sample, a foretaste, and a guarantee of the full enjoyment of the Triune God to come.
What we believers in Christ inherit is God Himself with all that He is, all that He has, and all that He has done.
The Triune God is our inheritance, and the Spirit as the ultimate consummation of the Triune God reaching us is the pledge of this inheritance.
As we exercise our spirit and contact the Lord as the Spirit with our spirit, we are assured that we will enjoy God for eternity, and we have a foretaste of this enjoyment of God today (Eph. 1:14).
The Spirit is the pledge of our inheritance unto the redemption of the acquired possession. God is our inheritance, and we are His possession.
We as believers in Christ are the church to be God’s possession, which He acquired by His purchase with the precious blood of Christ (Acts 20:28). Wow, the Triune God is our inheritance, and as we enjoy Him and experience Him today, we become God’s possession! We enjoy God as our inheritance and He enjoys us as His possession.
Today we have God in our spirit and a little of God in our soul, for He is spreading into our mind, emotion, and will, but we are still not yet transfigured in our body.
We still need the redemption of our body and the full transformation of our soul, for there still is so much of the old creation in our being.
But one day, when we are fully transformed in our soul and our body is transfigured, we will enjoy the Triune God in full as our inheritance, and He will enjoy us in full as His possession! Praise the Lord!
And this is all in our spirit; it has nothing to do with the material world and the material possessions. The Bible tells us that the Divine Trinity is our inheritance, and the consummated Spirit has been imparted into us as the pledge.
This pledge is working in us to transform us and even redeem us to be God’s possession until the day we enjoy Him as our portion and He enjoys us as His possession. Praise the Lord!
And this all started with us being regenerated in the resurrection of Christ; we were regenerated unto a living hope. We were born again of God unto the hope that we will inherit God and enjoy God for eternity.
We were regenerated unto an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled and unfading, kept in the heavens for us. We believers in Christ have a living hope, which is the inheritance, the Triune God Himself.
Our living hope is not only human, that is, that we will enjoy the fullness of the human life, but it is also divine, that we will fully enjoy the Triune God as our inheritance.
Our regeneration results in a living hope, which is the expectation of the coming blessing. We have a hope of life, a living hope; eternal life is our enjoyment today and also our inheritance for eternity.
All the riches of God’s being are involved in His life, and these riches have become our inheritance. In our daily Christian experience, we need to enjoy the Triune God as our inheritance.
We need to realise that, by means of our second birth, we have been born anew, born of God, into a new inheritance.
This is not a physical inheritance but a spiritual one – it is kept in the heavens. Although it is kept in the heavens, praise the Lord, we can enjoy it now on earth.
There is a continual, divine, spiritual transmission going on into our spirit from the heavens for us to enjoy all that God is.
When we exercise our spirit and touch the Lord, we enjoy our spiritual inheritance, and this inheritance is being continually transmitted into our spirit for our enjoyment.
Thank the Lord that the Triune God is our inheritance and that we can enjoy Him in our spirit.
Lord Jesus, we praise You for our regeneration! Hallelujah, we believers in Christ were regenerated in the resurrection of Christ unto a living hope, the hope of eternal life! Praise the Lord, we were regenerated unto an inheritance, the Triune God Himself as our inheritance! Wow, Lord, thank You for such a living hope. Thank You for giving us the Holy Spirit as the pledge of our inheritance. We exercise our spirit today. We want to live in our spirit and do all things in our spirit, for we are joined to the Lord as one spirit! Amen, Lord, may we remain under the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity all the days of our life to enjoy our divine inheritance! Praise the Lord, even though our inheritance is kept for us in the heavens, we can enjoy it now on earth! Amen, Lord, we want to remain under the continual transmission of the divine inheritance in our spirit. We give ourselves to just enjoy You and grow in You so that we may be heirs of God, enjoying God in full as our inheritance! Praise the Lord! Amen!
We Believers in Christ are Destined to be Joint Heirs with Christ to Inherit All Things
We need to consider our status as heirs of God; we believers in Christ are destined to be heirs of God for eternity.
First of all, Christ is the Heir of all things (Heb. 1:2), and we as believers in Christ are destined to be joint heirs with Christ. Wow, we are destined to inherit all things with Christ as joint heirs wth Him!
After being saved, we are children of God, sons of God, partakers of the divine nature, and heirs of God. This is what we are as believers in Christ. When we reach the stage of growth of being joint heirs with Christ, we will be glorified. Amen!
Titus 3:7 tells us that, in order that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. We are heirs of God because we have the life of God; we inherit God because we are His sons.
Heirs in Titus 3:7 refers not merely to sons but heirs who are qualified to inherit the Father’s estate (Rom. 4:14; 8:17; Gal. 3:29; 4:7). What a hope we have as believers in Christ, to be joint heirs with Christ to inherit all things! Amen!
In the New Testament we see these three terms being mentioned together again and again: faith, hope, and love.
In Thessalonians we have the breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet, the hope of salvation. Hope is a helmet; if we don’t have a hope, it is easy for the enemy to attack us. But we have the hope of eternal life, and we are protected against the enemy’s attacks.
There is much hope in the eternal life in our spirit, for this life will make us heirs of God. Every temporal hope fades, but the hope of eternal life will last forever. We have a blessed hope in the eternal life in our spirit. This life swallows up death.
Titus 2:13 calls this a blessed hope; we are awaiting the blessed hope, even the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
In this blessed hope we have many things, including the freedom of the glory of the full sonship, the redemption of our body (Rom. 8:21-25).
Our body is a body of sin, even the body of this death (Rom. 6:6; 7:24). We can testify that, when we want to go to the meeting with the saints, our body is weak and tired, but when some worldly activity or entertainment is available, our body is very much alive with much energy. We need the redemption of our body.
This blessed hope also includes the salvation to be revealed in the last time (1 Pet. 1:5). We are saved, and we will be fully saved when the Lord returns; we are now in the progressing stage, and we need to reach the completing stage of our salvation.
This blessed hope is the living hope of the incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading inheritance kept in the heavens for us (1 Pet. 1:3-4). What a hope! What an inheritance!
How much we need to exercise our spirit to enjoy the Triune God as our inheritance today!
We are born of God’s eternal life (John 1:12-13; 3:16) to be heirs of God. Praise the Lord!
When we were regenerated in the resurrection of Christ, we received another life, and we were made one with Christ.
When Christ was resurrected, we as His believers were included in Him, and we were resurrected with Him. Praise the Lord, in His resurrection, Christ imparted the divine life into us and made us the same as He is in life and nature.
This is the basic factor of our regeneration to become heirs of God. Now we are in the process of growth in life, for growth unto maturity is required for one to be an heir. May we grow in life quickly day by day to be matured and be heirs of God!
Lord Jesus, we praise You for being the Heir of all things! Hallelujah, we believers in Christ are destined to be joint heirs with Christ! Amen, Lord, You are the Heir of all things and we are joint heirs with You! We praise You for making us children of God, sons of God, partakers of the divine nature, and heirs of God! Amen, Lord, grow in us today. Cause us to grow unto maturity until we become joint heirs with Christ and are therefore glorified! Hallelujah, what a hope we have! Praise the Lord, we are becoming heirs according to the hope of eternal life! Amen, Lord, we have so much hope, even a living hope, in the eternal life! We hope that You are making us heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ, to enjoy and inherit our heavenly Father’s estate! Amen, Lord, we exercise our spirit to enjoy You today. We want to have a foretaste of the full inheritance we will one day enjoy! Praise the Lord, we are joint heirs with Christ! Amen!
