We possess our eternal inheritance through faith in Jesus Christ, who has secured it for us.
The sermon emphasizes that the 'house of Jacob shall possess their possessions,' which refers to the eternal inheritance that believers receive through faith in Christ. This inheritance is described as incorruptible, undefiled, and reserved in heaven for those who are kept by the power of God. It cannot be earned or purchased; rather, it is a divine gift obtained through the redemptive work of Christ. The apostle Peter elaborates on this by stating that we are born again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus, signifying that our inheritance is already secured for us because of Christ’s accomplished work on the cross. Therefore, our confidence in possessing this inheritance rests not on our merit but on God's promises fulfilled in Jesus.
