What does the Bible say about our inheritance in heaven?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible portrays heaven as an inheritance for the saints, secured by God's predestination and the sealing of the Holy Spirit.

Heaven is described in the Scriptures as an inheritance given to the saints, with Acts 20:32 emphasizing that believers are heirs among those who are sanctified. This concept is further supported in Ephesians 1:11, which states that we have obtained this inheritance through God's purpose and will. Additionally, Ephesians 1:13 speaks of the Holy Spirit as the earnest of this inheritance, which assures believers of their future possession of eternal glory. The ultimate promise of this inheritance is found in Revelation 21:7, depicting the victorious believer who inherits all things and is called a son of God. This vast inheritance symbolizes the fullness of life and joy in heaven that awaits the faithful.
