Has God ever put something on your heart so strongly that it’s hard to focus on other things? Matter of fact you feel like you’re redundant in the things you post and say? Well He has mine and it’s about living from our inheritance.
He wants us to live victorious lives, not defeated Christians. Let’s look at some of the spiritual blessing that through Christ is part of our inheritance.
We are …
Loved
Galatians 2:20, I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Ephesians 1:4, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Forgiven
Ephesians 1:7,In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
Psalm 103:2-3, Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
Redeemed
Galatians 3:13,Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”
Psalms 119:9,He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever— holy and awesome is his name.
A New Creation
2 Corinthians 5:17,Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Holy
Hebrews 10:10, And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all
Colossians 1:21-22,Even though you were once distant from him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, he reconnected you back to himself. He released hissupernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of his own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in his presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for he sees you as holy, flawless, and restored,
Set Apart
2 Timothy 2:21,Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
Deuteronomy 14:2, You have been set apart as holy to the LORD your God, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure.
Created With A Purpose
Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Ephesians 1:11, All things are done according to God’s plan and decision; and God chose us to be his own people in union with Christ because of his own purpose, based on what he had decided from the very beginning.
God’s Masterpiece
Ephesians 2:10,10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
A Temple Of The Holy Spirit
1 Corinthians 3:16-17, Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple
1 Corinthians 6:19-20,Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
If we would study and start to really understand what each one of these blessings mean for us, as part of our inheritance, it would change our lives and the way most of us live. More importantly it would change the way we see ourselves and see others.
What an Amazing God we serve!
