A Godly Inheritance!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. Happy Saturday!

Primary Text: Colossians 1v12
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:” Colossians 1v12 (KJV)

Glory be to God. The Bible tells us that “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: …” (Proverbs 13v22). Now, God being very good, who has adopted us to be His own children, does not treat us like 2nd class citizens. The amazing thing is that now that we are His, being born again to an ever-living hope because of Jesus’ resurrection, He has made us His heirs, and even more astonishing, joint-heirs with Jesus. This inheritance is not one that can perish or stolen or faded away, but it is being reserved for us in heaven.
