Show Notes

Paul points out that the Jewish people were the first to accept the gospel, according to the plan of God, and for His glory (Ephesians 1:12). Unfortunately, most of Israel rejected Jesus as the Messiah. As a result, the gospel was spread to the Gentiles (Ephesians 1:13), who share in the same inheritance.

 

God chose, before creation, to save us. That salvation came at a great cost: the death of Jesus Christ. As children of God, we can be confident that God will give us what He has promised: namely, an eternity with Him in heaven. That is our inheritance. And now as heirs, knowing what lies ahead of us, we are to live as those who belong to God.

 

What are some other passages of Scripture that speak to us as those who belong to God, those who have an eternal inheritance? In today’s episode, we explore eight such passages: Jeremiah 29:11; Colossians 2:12; Ephesians 1:13; Romans 8:15; Romans 6:23; Joshua 1:8; 1 Peter 2:5; and 1 Peter 1:4. Additional scriptures referenced include Ephesians 1:7-11; Ephesians 3:3-11; Ephesians 5:32; Ephesians 6:19; 1 Corinthians 15:3-11; Romans 8:28; Philippians 4:10-20; 2 Timothy 2:15; James 1:18; Romans 10:9; Ephesians 2:8-9; Ephesians 2:5; and 1 Peter 1:3-5.
