We know Jesus is our portion because He is our inheritance and all that we need for salvation and eternal life.
The concept of Jesus as our portion is deeply rooted in the understanding of inheritance in Scripture. In Lamentations 3:24, it states, 'The Lord is my portion,' denoting that our true sustenance and hope is found in Him alone. Jesus embodies the fulfillment of God's promises, making Him the ultimate inheritance for believers. In Acts 26:18, we are reminded that through Christ, we receive forgiveness and inheritance among the sanctified. Embracing Jesus as our portion means recognizing that He provides all we need for life and godliness, and He is our assurance of eternal security and love from the Father. As such, our highest joy and fulfillment come from being united with Him.
