“To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” 1 Peter 1:4
A man was sitting on a street corner, weeping. A friend saw him and asked, “Why are you crying?”
“Haven’t you read the papers? Rockefeller died.”
The friend responded, “Why are you crying? You were no kin of his!”
“That’s why I’m crying!”
You have an inheritance right now as a child of God. It is incorruptible. The foul breath of decay and gnawing tooth of time cannot take it away. It is undefiled. No high-powered lawyer can find a loophole. It will never fade away.
If you understood what you have in Jesus, you would never be jealous of anybody. Ezekiel 44:28 says that God is your inheritance. You have an inheritance that is faultless, flawless, fadeless, and reserved in heaven for you!- Adrian Rogers
How true that is! I’ll never forget the first time I heard the song “I’m a child of the King”. Ever since that day I have been thrilled by the thought. To think that we are joint-heirs with Christ makes you want to shout for joy! Understanding who you are and what you have as a result of the person and work of Christ will keep you going when everything seems to be going wrong. Knowing it is all due to grace leaves us without reason to complain– ever! – HDS
