Inheritance

1 Peter 1:4 

...and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you.

God reminded Moses that the promised land was given to them by God as an inheritance. It was not because they earned it. Do you know the difference between ‘inheritance’ and ‘earning’? An inheritance is something that someone receives, passed by the previous owner (usually his parents), without having to work for it. An earning is something that someone receives after he does his work.

God’s inheritance is freely given to you and I—we do not earn it. You believe in God and become God’s child. This means you have a heavenly Father who watches over you all the time. A Father who protects and blesses you, so you will grow up to be a wonderful person that shows God’s love. And a Father who will correct you when you are on the wrong path. Then, you will inherit His grace and eternal life in heaven. God’s inheritance for you is eternal. 

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for making me Your child. Thank You for the eternal inheritance kept in heaven for me. Amen.
