What is the significance of the inheritance we have in Christ?

In the Reformed understanding, the inheritance described in Scripture holds profound significance for believers. As articulated in Romans 8, we are 'heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.' This inheritance encompasses all spiritual blessings that are obtained solely through grace and not by our works. Colossians 1:12 further elucidates this by stating that we are made fit to partake in this inheritance because of Christ's redemptive work. It includes not only eternal life but also the joys of fellowship with God, assurance of salvation, and the blessings that come from being part of Christ's body. Thus, this inheritance is a testimony of God's sovereign grace towards us.
