"... Whom he hath appointed heir of all things." Hebrews 1.2

26.jpg

Jesus Christ is heir of all things. But specifically what did He inherit? All that Adam lost for his sin. Speaking in biblical terms: that which the first Adam lost by his disobedience, the last Adam, Jesus Christ, won by his obedience. He is the heir of all things. You may have an earthly inheritance, but when you die you will have to leave everything behind. But if you are a child of God, you become co-heir with Christ: "Now if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ." With this verse, the hearts of true Christians will sing of joy. But the same verse says: "... if we suffer with him, that we also may be glorified with him." "Receiving the inheritance" is something other than "having eternal life." The Bible promises: "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." We receive this eternal life freely through faith in Jesus Christ. He who now is willing not only to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ but also to follow Him, that is, willing to suffer as He suffered, He will also be joint heir! Why do you have to suffer? In suffering, the Lord delivers you from earthly things and at the same time brings you closer to God. Through suffering you mature to glory.

Sort:  

Truly Jesus Christ is the heir of all things and we are joint heirs with him, therefore we are co inheritors with him. In the light this truth no born again Christian is permitted to suffer unjustly in the hands of Satan. If you are a Christian and you are being afflicted or in lack, I call upon you to wake up from your ignorance and possess your possession by knowledge. The bible says "My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge".
