GOODLY HERITAGE: JESUS CHRIST – MY SAVIOUR AND LORD!
The best and ultimately incomparable, indescribable and unimaginable INHERITANCE ever to have in life and grace is having my SAVIOUR and LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]. 22 If, however, it is to be life here and I am to go on living, this will mean useful and productive service for me; so I do not know which to choose [if I am given that choice]” Philippians 1:21-22.
Being born of God as a New Creation in Christ Jesus, is just awesomely awesome and I couldn’t have ask for anything else MORE. I am daily super excited, contented and fulfilled both meaningfully and purposefully in all that pertains doing life and living godly.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“In whom also we have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12.
“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are fallen unto me in PLEASANT places; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE. 7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope . . .11 Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:5-11.
“But God forbid that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.
“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but faith which worketh by love” Galatians 5:6.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH are blessed with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither BOND nor FREE, there is neither MALE nor FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
“Give none offence, NEITHER to the JEWS, nor to the GENTILES, nor to the CHURCH of God: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.
“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to THE WORD of his GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
