Dare to take your portion

EXHORTATION through The BOOK of LIFE

Scriptures to ponder on:

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

🏦🔥YOU ARE AN HEIR OF THE WORLD AND

YOU HAVE THE DUTY TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD 🏦🔥

God's blessings are part of our inheritance in the new covenant of grace, which Jesus died to give us. The Word of God tells us that “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us... so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Isn't it interesting that the Lord is very specific in mentioning that Christ became a curse for us on the cross, so that we might experience and enjoy the blessing of Abraham? He doesn't want us to simply experience just any blessing. He wants you to experience the blessing of Abraham. I think it's up to you then to discover what “the blessing of Abraham” is and who can receive it.

The Bible tells us that “if you are in Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Are you in Christ? Do you belong to Jesus? Then that makes you an heir according to the promise. Every believer in Christ is an heir. Every time you hear the word “heir,” it speaks of something good. It speaks of an inheritance that you don't work for, an inheritance that belongs to you not because of your works, but because of who you are. In this case, as a believer of the new covenant in Jesus, you belong to Jesus and you have a blood-bought inheritance in Christ as a descendant of Abraham. You are, beloved, an heir according to the promise!

Now, there are many promises in the Bible, but what is THE promise that God made to Abraham? You can't claim this promise if you don't know what it is. We must go to the Word (use the Bible to interpret the Bible) to establish what the promise is. And we find the answer in Romans 4:13: “For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not made to Abraham or to his posterity not by the law, but by the righteousness of faith.

The promise made to Abraham and his descendants (you and me) is that he would be “heir of the world”! In the original Greek text, the word “world” here is kosmos. Its meaning includes “the whole circle of earthly possessions, domains, riches, advantages, and pleasures.” Now, this is what you are an heir to through the finished work of Jesus! In Christ, you are an heir of the world, of its possessions, its domains, its riches, its advantages, and its pleasures. This is THE promise that God made to Abraham and his descendants. Don't apologize for it. It's your inheritance in Christ! So call forth your portion daily!

Jesus’ beloved !
