What is the significance of our inheritance as Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Our inheritance as Christians is a gift from God that is incorruptible, undefiled, and reserved in heaven.
The Apostle Peter emphasizes the significance of our inheritance in 1 Peter 1:4, describing it as 'incorruptible and undefiled' and 'that fadeth not away.' This inheritance, contrasted with earthly possessions that can be squandered or degraded, offers the assurance of everlasting life and glory in heaven. It is a gracious gift from God that we do not earn but receive solely in virtue of being His children. The fact that this inheritance is reserved specifically for believers signifies the intimate and personal nature of God's promises toward us. We are held by God's power and faith as we await the revelation of this glorious inheritance.
