Our Inheritance

Ephesians 1:11-14 (ESV)
¹¹ In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
¹² so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
¹³ In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
¹⁴ who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

Paul says that our inheritance has been secured. It has been accomplished in accordance with our Father’s will. God’s revelation culminated in the person of Jesus, Who came forth from the Jewish nation, God’s chosen people. Through the Jews God prepared the way for the advent of His Son and salvation was made available for all who believe.

The Holy Spirit was given in assurance and guarantee of that inheritance. The deal has been done. Now we only wait for the Second Advent of Christ when we receive in full all the promises and wonder of God. Our inheritance is sure.
