Partakers of the Inheritance

 

WHAT A MYSTERY TO ME


 O what a mystery it is

That I would have a place;

Among the people of our God,

 A loved and chosen race.

O what a mystery it is

That God my soul would save;

That He would love this sinner so,

That His Own Son He gave.

 

O what a mystery it is,

That Christ my place would take;

To satisfy the law of God,

And full atonement make.

O what a mystery it is,

That He would die for me;

To rescue me from guilt and shame,

From sin to set me free.

 

O what a mystery it is,

The Spirit worked within;

And then on Jesus I believed,

To save me from my sin.

O what a mystery it is,

That God would care for me;

Ordain that I should dwell with Him,

Throughout eternity.

      “The LORD is in His holy temple, the LORD’S throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.  The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.  Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.  For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright.” -Psalm 11:4-7 [KJV]

PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE

 

     “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son:  In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:12-14).  

 

Let every believer be so encouraged by this passage that we would patiently bear any trial, affliction or adversity.  In the Lord Jesus Christ, we have a fitness, a worthiness to be a partaker of our eternal inheritance.  What is this qualification or fitness?  It is His perfect righteousness which has been imputed to all those who believe on His Name.  I was not ordained to this eternal inheritance because of anything good in me and therefore it will not be denied me because of the sin that is in me.  I shall acquire this inheritance, not by works, but purely on the basis free and sovereign grace.  

 

Even now, I stand accepted before a holy God having been bathed in the blood of His dear Son and clothed in His robe of perfect righteousness.  Jesus Christ Himself is my fitness and because of Him, I shall someday enter into heavenly glory.  This inheritance which is incorruptible and undefiled and will never fade away, is reserved in the heavens for all the Lord’s children.

THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit." - Philemon vs. 25 [KJV] It is the regenerating breath of the Lord Jesus Christ which makes the soul alive unto Himself. This is manifest from His own language: "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63) . Then for the first time "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with our spirit." For you will observe that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is not with our carnal mind: that ever remains the same, a body of sin and death, flesh, corrupt flesh, "in which dwelleth no good thing," and therefore not the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.   His grace is with our spirit, that "new man" of which we read that "it is after God, [that is, after the image of God] created in righteousness and true holiness." This is called our "spirit," because it is born of the Sp...

  "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." -Psalm 118:8-9 [KJV] "Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9c [KJV]    “We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.” -David Rockefeller “There is a single theme behind all our work–we must reduce population levels. Either governments do it our way, through nice clean methods, or they will get the kinds of mess that we have in El Salvador, or in Iran or in Beirut. Population is a political problem. Once population is out of control, it requires authoritarian government, even fascism, to reduce it ….” “Our program in El Salvador didn’t work. The infrastructure was not there to support it. There were just too many people…. To really reduce population, quickly, you have to pull all the males into the fighting and you have to kill sig...

The Exceeding Riches of God's Grace in Christ JESUS

"That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness towards us through Christ Jesus." -Ephesians 2:7 [KJV] Pause, my soul, and gather in all the powers of arithmetic, and try if thou art able to count what the exceeding riches of God's grace amount to. Think how great, how free, how sovereign, how inexhaustible, how everlasting! All that a poor sinner hath in time, all that we can enjoy to all eternity, all is of grace. And what a title hath thy God chosen to be known by among His people, when, to make Himself known more fully in Jesus, He styles Himself "the God of all grace!" All grace? Yes, all grace, and all sorts and degrees of grace: pardoning grace, renewing grace, quickening grace, strengthening grace, comforting grace; in short, all grace.  And is all this treasured up in Jesus? Oh then, my soul, see that Jesus be thine, and all is thine. And mark this down as a sure unerring rule as grace hath no s...
