Why are children considered a heritage from the Lord?
Answered in 1 source
Children are viewed as a heritage and reward from God (Psalm 127:3).
In Psalm 127:3, it is stated, 'Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.' This verse conveys the value that God places on His people, calling them His inheritance. Children are not mere products of human effort but gifts from God, ensuring His responsibility in their care. This heritage emphasizes the relationship believers have with God, being both His children and His treasured possession, redeemed in Christ. As His inheritance, believers are cherished and valued not due to their inherent worth but because of God's love and grace toward them, culminating in Christ's sacrificial work, which secures their place in the family of God.
