Inheritance.
How many of us would just love to have a rich inheritance? I think most of us would welcome an inheritance of a sizable portion. Did you know that the richest inheritance in existence is available for all of us to inherit. I'm serious.
It's NOT an earthly inheritance though, it's a heavenly inheritance and NO it is NOT guaranteed to everyone by a long, long shot. Satan has deceived a vast majority by letting them believe they automatically make it to heaven by merely believing Jesus exists and died for them. They have that knowledge and they think it entitles them to salvation no matter what they do. Are they correct? It's very possible, I could be wrong, I know I'm very fallible. However I read that not everyone will be saved- right from our Savior own lips.
Mat_7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Did you read that? He that DOETH the will of Jesus' Father. That is an action word! DOETH. Those that DO something, actively do something- the WILL of the Heavenly Father.
Feast on the following words of God-- feast!
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.

1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
