What does the Bible say about our inheritance as children of God?

As children of God, our inheritance is explained in Galatians 4:7, where we are reminded that we are no longer servants but sons, and therefore heirs of God through Christ. This inheritance encompasses several aspects, including God’s mercy, which is the first experience of a child of God as stated in Isaiah 54:7, highlighting that He gathers us with great mercies. Furthermore, the love of God is everlasting and unchanging, providing the assurance that His kindness will never depart from us (Isaiah 54:10).

In addition to mercy and love, we receive peace with God through Christ’s sacrifice, as stated in Colossians 1:20, where peace is made by the blood of His cross. We also inherit the righteousness of God; it is not of ourselves, but it is the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, as told in Romans 3:22. This multifaceted inheritance assures believers of their eternal status as heirs of God, secured by Christ’s death and resurrection.
