How do we know our works do not merit our inheritance?

Answered in 1 source

We know our works do not merit inheritance because it is a gift from God, received by grace, not by our own efforts.

In the context of Colossians 3:24, Paul emphasizes that while we are to work heartily, the reward for our labor—the inheritance—is not something we earn through good works. Instead, it is a gracious gift from God, given to His children. Just as an inheritance is often received without merit, our eternal life and blessings stem from God's grace. This assures us that our standing before God is not determined by our performance but by His sovereign choice and mercy.
