Heavenly Inheritance

You HAVE an inheritance.

1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pe 1:4  To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1Pe 1:5  Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

We have an inheritance. The poorest of the poor has an inheritance.  The best inheritance a person could ever have is ours.

Are you earthly poor? Are you possession poor? Are you a son or daughter of the poor? In death will your parents leave you absolutely nothing, but perhaps their debts? None of that negates your true inheritance, an inheritance worth more than any amount of money or possessions any earthly parent could leave you. Your treasures are HEAVENLY. Your riches are HEAVENLY. Your inheritance is HEAVENLY.

A lively hope!
An inheritance incorruptible!
An inheritance undefiled!
An inheritance reserved in heaven!
Kept through the power of God through faith unto salvation!

Revealed….

…in the last time.

Blessed be GOD the Father of our LORD JESUS CHRIST! 

Jesus Christ rose from the dead and HE is our HOPE, the good news of the Gospel is eternal life in Jesus Christ. 

NO PAIN!

We all know pain, every single one of us knows pain in some form. Some of us know a lot of pain- emotional, physical we know pain. We often fear pain, we despise pain, we go to great lengths to rid ourselves of pain. That's not to say there aren't deviants who enjoy pain- physical and emotional, there are. But the majority of people invest in a great number of pain killers to rid themselves of pain. Some take pain relievers daily!  Pain is a part of us in so many ways. We hate to see people suffering. We hate to see people in pain. Pain is something we cannot wait to be rid of entirely!  The inheritance we are promised is an inheritance towards the freedom from pain.

NO TEARS!

I don't need to tell you what this means- you've cried, you've cried tears of the deepest anguish. You've held back tears of anguish out of shame, out of pride, but you've cried them internally until it's ripped you apart inside. You've cried and you've seen others cry. The tears of those you love breaking your heart, you know these tears, you have memories of those tears. The inheritance that will be ours promises us NO MORE TEARS.

The inheritance- the good news of the gospel of our Savior, of our Lord Jesus Christ!

HOPE!

We have HOPE and that HOPE is in our SAVIOR who promises us eternity- painless- tearless- eternity!


All by HIS amazing GRACE, HIS LOVE, now and FOREVER AMEN!
