Heirs and Shares: Embracing Your Full Inheritance in Christ

 

Heirs and Shares: Embracing Your Full Inheritance in Christ

"This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus." – Ephesians 3:6 KSB

A crown symbolizing divine inheritance placed on the Bible


   Do you know who you are? You are an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ Jesus. Paul revealed this profound truth to the believers in Ephesus, making it clear that both Jews and Gentiles now have complete, unrestricted access to all that God is and all that God has. We are not separate, now we are one family, one body, united under one divine inheritance. There are no second-class citizens in God’s family. No stepchildren. No spiritual outsiders. It doesn’t matter your age, race, gender, education, financial status, past mistakes, or background nothing disqualifies you from your spiritual inheritance. We are all beloved offspring, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ Jesus. You share in God’s nature. His divine essence flows through you. That nature produces fruit in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These aren’t distant hopes they are present realities available through your inheritance.

   As an heir of God, you have access to divine wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. God’s fullness resides in you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in you. When Jesus needed provision, it was provided when He prayed, God answered. That is your birthright too. Look at the life of Jesus to see the benefits of your inheritance. Health, peace, abundance, purpose they are all part of your divine stock portfolio. As Jesus said, “All that the Father has is Mine.” And since you are joint heirs with Christ, it’s yours too. Heirs means shares. Don’t miss what belongs to you. Step into the fullness of your spiritual inheritance. But this inheritance isn't just for you. There are countless people your spiritual siblings who don’t yet know who they are or what belongs to them. Share what you have. Share your wisdom, your resources, your hope. In God’s kingdom, there are infinite shares. You cannot exhaust His goodness. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. So don’t hoard your portion share it. Grace and peace be multiplied to you, and through you, to the world.

Heirs - Shares (Ephesians 3:6)

  • Share in the nature of God
  • Share in the benefits with Christ
  • Share with one another

Question: What do you have stock in?

📖 Reflection: Do you truly believe that you are an heir of God? How would your life change if you lived from that identity every day?

💡 Action Step: Take time this week to meditate on Ephesians 3:6. Then, encourage someone by sharing a truth about their spiritual inheritance.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
