(Ps. 28:9) Save Your people and bless Your inheritance; Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. (Ps. 94:14) For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
(Eph. 1:18) I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Obviously, Jesus and all that he has is our inheritance. In John 15 speaking of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Jesus says to his disciples, “He shall glorify me; for he shall take of mine and shall disclose it to you. All things that the father has my; therefore I said that he takes
and will diclose it to you.” We are co-heirs with Christ, and all that the Father has is His, and therefore all that the Father has is ours in Christ.
Sadly though, what most Christians don’t realize is that we are His inheritance. That’s why Paul prays that the eyes of our hearts would be enlightened. His prayer is very simple; he prays that we would know the hope of the calling of Christ on our lived, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in us. There are two metaphors in the New Testament used to describe The Church, which identifies our calling as his inheritance. We are both the “Bride,” and “Body,” of Christ. As the bride of Christ we are called into eternal union of affection with Jesus, and as his body, we are called to be the vehicle of his divine and holy activity He gave his life for us to be his bride, and he lives his life in us who are his body, through which he manifests his likeness. Union always involves intimacy and likeness. The moment you become a Christian there is a mutual indwelling, and a mutual inheritance that takes place in our union with Christ. We enjoy him as our inheritance, and he mutually enjoys us as his inheritance. The more we grow in manifestation of affection towards him as his bride, the more we will grow in the manifestation of his likeness as his body. He loving us, and living in us, sharing all that he is and has with us, is our inheritance; and he living through us, possessing all that we are, as he manifests all that he is, is his inheritance.
