PARTAKERS OF A GLORIOUS INHERITANCE
“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light”
(Colossians 1:12).
Do you realize your own good works or your own righteousness couldn’t qualify you for the blessing of God? Our opening verse of scripture expresses this as it says, God “hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” God the Father did this for us, in spite of ourselves.
God in His infinite mercy and kindness qualified you for the good life. How exciting to realize that you don’t have to strive to be good enough for God. There’s no need to strive and work to merit His blessings, for it’s by His grace. His righteousness is your qualification to be a partaker of the glorious inheritance He’s prepared for the saints.
Thus, all the glorious and precious promises in the Word that have come to us through Christ are your present hour possession. Prosperity, healing and health, success, spiritual advancement and everything that’s required for your total well-being are all yours now.
God’s Word is the book of your inheritance. In Acts 20:32, the Apostle Paul says the Word “…is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” This is the reason you must study the Word voraciously, for through knowledge–the knowledge of God’s Word–shall the just be delivered (Proverbs 11:9).
