God Is Loving And Kind!

Ephesians 1:11 — in Him we have obtained an inheritance. On the right to heaven that lies wholly in Christ — pardoned by His blood, justified by His righteousness, complete in Him.

"In Him also we have obtained an inheritance…" — Ephesians 1:11

Jesus Christ gave Himself for us, and with Himself gave us every right and privilege that is His. He counts no inheritance apart from us whom He has drawn to Himself; all the glorious fruit of His obedience unto death on the cross is the riches of everyone who is in Him. Christ entered into the divine glory — yet not for Himself alone, but for us all, for it is written that He is the 'forerunner who has entered for us' (Hebrews 6:20).

So let us be thankful and full of appreciation, for we have no right to heaven in ourselves; our right lies wholly in Christ, and we can enter heaven only through Him. If you are pardoned, it is through His blood; if you are justified, it is through His righteousness; if you are kept from falling (Jude 24), it is because you are preserved in Christ Jesus; and if you are made complete, it is because you are complete in Him (Colossians 2:10).

Jesus is magnified, for all is in Him and by Him. As believers in the Lord, all things are yours — for you are Christ's, and Christ is God's (1 Corinthians 3:21, 23).

May the Lord God Almighty perfect all that concerns you, give you joy and peace, and meet all your needs always. Amen!
