Ephesians 1:13-14

“In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation – having also believed, you are sealed with Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.”

We have an inheritance. God gives us the Holy Spirit as a way to seal that we belong to Him, and we are part of His inheritance. The Holy Spirit is like a down payment on what we are to expect by belonging to Him. His power transforms us now, and what we experience now is just a taste of what we have in our future. Just like a mother or father would leave an inheritance to their child/children, they usually get a taste of what is to come as they have grown up in their household. How amazing that we get to have a taste of what we will experience in eternity. Are you ready for your inheritance?

Dear Lord, thank you that you care for me to include me in your inheritance. Help me to show others who they are in you, or who you are if they don’t know you yet. Give me your strength to move forward in such a backwards world of today. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
