Our Inheritance
Deuteronomy 4:20
“But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.”
The word inheritance, meaning “possession” or “property,” is linked to the promises of God, particularly those involving the Promised Land (Gen. 13:14-17). When this word is used of the Promised Land it does not merely refer to what a person wills to his children. Rather, God, the owner of the entire world, had granted his people a specific parcel of ground. He had fixed its boundaries and promised to deliver it to them.
However, the concept of Israel’s inheritance transcends a simple association with the land. David and Jeremiah both affirm that God himself is the real inheritance of his people (Psa. 16:5; Jer. 10:16). God’s people can find joy and fulfillment in their relationship with God. Nothing this world can offer as an inheritance can compare with God himself. (1 Pet. 1:4)
Make sure your inheritance is secure.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
