Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 29, 2025

| 394 views

It's an odd phrase: we have been given an "inheritance" in Christ? What does that mean? It's not like God is going to die! The phrase doesn't actually point us toward death but toward the Exodus. What can we learn from that reference?

What does Paul mean when he speaks of us having an “inheritance” in the Lord? - Ephesians 1:14; Colossians 1:12; Colossians 3:24. - This is a phrase that has bothered me for a long time and I didn’t really have a great answer to it.

I used to think that teaching what God says about giving threaten people. But I’m finding that when people start applying these truths, it’s really not threatening, but thrilling. It’s not a drudgery; it’s a delight.

Maybe you’ve put something in the basket and then wondered, “What did I just do. I want to go get it back!” For sure, we’re glad that a camera is not fixed on us when we give. We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more
