Our Inheritance

Introduction  Thomas defines the noun klēronomia as “an inheritance” [2817].  BDAG say it refers to “(1) inheritance; (2) possession, property; (3) common in Christian usage (corresponding to the LXX) (the possession of) transcendent salvation (as the inheritance of God’s children)…”  This word occurs 14x in the NT.

Contrast Spiritual vs Physical  Some men obsess over the promise of a physical inheritance (Luke 12:13-21, esp. vs. 13).  In contrast, Christians should focus upon their spiritual inheritance (Eph. 1:18-23, esp. vs. 18; 1 Pet. 1:3-5, esp. vs. 4).

Character of the Promiser  Our inheritance is based upon the promises of God (Acts 7:2-5; Gal. 3:15-18).  Our inheritance is based upon the working of the Holy Spirit (Acts 20:32; Eph. 1:13-14).  Our inheritance is based upon the sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Heb. 9:11-15).

Conditions of the Promise  The promise of an inheritance is available only to rightful heirs (Matt. 21:33-44, esp. vs. 38; cf. also Mark 12:1-12, esp. vs. 7; Luke 20:9- 18, esp. vs. 14).  The reception of God’s promises is based upon reverential obedience (Col. 3:22-25).  Obedient faith is essential (Heb. 11:8-10).  Worldliness will jeopardize our hope (Eph. 5:3- 7).

Conclusion  Are you an heir?  Do you trust in God?  Have you obeyed His Word?  Are you living a faithful life?
