“Glory Gift”

 1 Peter 1:4

For God has reserved a priceless inheritance for

His children.  It is kept in Heaven for you, pure

and undefiled beyond reach of change and decay.  (NLT)

     What an incredible promise this is for all those who have been adopted into God's eternal family. Because of this promise, all of our sins have been forgiven, we are justified by the blood of Jesus, and are granted the legal rights to an incredible, everlasting inheritance.  A share in the glory of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ is an amazing gift, one that our finite minds cannot really grasp the totality of.  But we can fully trust that whatever this undeserved inheritance is, it will be out of this world and indeed glorious.  Through God's Word we get a partial picture of this inheritance in our eternal life in the new Heaven and Earth that will replace the old. And this information is just enough to get our inquiring minds a taste of the wonderful future to come, and that hope will help us get through the many difficult circumstances that living in this world brings.  And it also helps us keep motivated to live a godly, righteous life in the here and now.

    Our gracious God tells us throughout the Scriptures, that He is the only True, Living God, and that we can fully trust in His every Word and Promise.  When we fully entrust our lives to our Lord God, there comes a peace of heart and mind of the believer that surpasses anything this world has to offer, because this world and everything in it is quickly fading away.  We must understand that this priceless gift of an inheritance is a piece of the glory that is Christ Jesus' alone, but it is being reserved for God's children as well.  If you have embraced and accepted this incredible gift, honor the King with a righteous life filled with thanksgiving and praise.  If you have not, it would be wise to look into it while you can, before the offer runs out. 

                                         A Whisper of Hope

 I came bearing good gifts, dear child...The undeserved gifts of eternal life and a share in My inheritance.  You need not bring anything to the table, but a sorrow-filled, repentant, and humble heart and your love and praise for your God and Savior.

Colossians 1:11, 12

May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father,

who has enabled you to share the inheritance that belongs

to God's holy people, who live in the Light.  (NLT)

              I want you to realize what a rich and glorious 

             inheritance He has given to His people.

                           (Ephesians 1:18)
