Our Inheritance....ever precious!

God's Word declares that, as born again children of the Father,
we have an inheritance that is awaiting us in Heaven. This 
inheritance is incorruptible, it is pure and will never fade away
or lose it's value or importance...and all this because Jesus
died in our place on the cross! 

1 Peter 1 verses 3 to 5 states this very clearly:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us
again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus 
Christ from the deadto an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven
for youwho are kept by the power of God through faith 
for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

(emphasis mine)

God's mercy is so amazingly abundant that we have living
hope because of Christ. Note: not simply hope BUT Living Hope...
and on top of living (alive) hope we also get an inheritance
to enjoy forever in Christ our Lord. And God keeps us by 
His divine power each and every day, all we need is faith.

This is one of the most powerful promises to me personally,
in the Bible to all of God's children that have invited Him
into their lives and are serving Him with fervour....let us
not loose heart because God who promised is faithful and 
will bring it to pass...(Hebrews 10:23).

Be blessed as you look to Jesus and your inheritance this week!

In Christ's Love
