How do we receive our inheritance according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Our inheritance is received through faith in Jesus Christ, who exchanges His riches for our poverty.

The Bible teaches that our inheritance is obtained through faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:11 states that we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to God's purpose. It's significant to note that this inheritance stems from the work of Christ, where He became poor for our sake, as seen in 2 Corinthians 8:9, which says, 'Though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that you through His poverty might be made rich.' This profound exchange highlights that it is by grace through faith that we become heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). Thus, our inheritance is not merited by our works, but is a gift of grace through the redeeming work of Christ.
