“Giving
thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints in light” (Colossians 1:12).
Do you realize your own good works or your own
righteousness couldn’t qualify you for the blessing of God? Our opening verse
of scripture expresses this as it says, God “hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light.” God the Father did this for us, in
spite of ourselves.
God in His infinite mercy and kindness qualified you
for the good life. How exciting to realize that you don’t have to strive to be
good enough for God. There’s no need to strive and work to merit His blessings,
for it’s by His grace. His righteousness is your qualification to be a partaker
of the glorious inheritance He’s prepared for the saints.
Thus, all the glorious and precious promises in the
Word that have come to us through Christ are your present hour possession.
Prosperity, healing and health, success, spiritual advancement and everything
that’s required for your total well-being are all yours now.
God’s
Word is the book of your inheritance. In Acts 20:32, the Apostle Paul says the
Word “…is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them
which are sanctified.” This is the reason you must study the Word voraciously,
for through knowledge–the knowledge of God’s Word–shall the just be delivered
(Proverbs 11:9).
