August 6 - Ephesians 1:11

August 6
Ephesians 1:11

Ephesians 1:11 In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will. 

In Christ - because of Christ – we also have obtained an inheritance by being predestined (as the body of Christ) according to His purpose, which we know was established before the foundation of the world, and according to God's will.  This is our inheritance – this belongs to us.

The whole concept of the word “inheritance” becomes vital for us to know.  The Hebrew word “morashah,” appears in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) in the same way that the Jews were given an inheritance of the land of promise to rule and reign over it. All they had to do is remain faithful to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and His Laws.  The Greek word for inheritance is “kleeros” meaning a heritage, to assign by lot - a private possession something. 

The body of Christ has been given a spiritual inheritance of ruling and reigning with Christ for an eternity.  (We will get more into that as we further our Daily Devotions on our spiritual blessings.  All God asks of us is to be faithful to Jesus. So this inheritance, which was given to us before the foundation of the world, was all preplanned for those who would believe, accept and follows Christ. We are a part of God’s kingdom through Christ and destined to become part of God’s family is to rule and reign with Christ forever.

WOW! That's God promise to us!
