WE HAVE A GOODLY HERITAGE AS OUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST REGARDLESS WHAT THE REPORT IS SAYING IN THE PHYSICAL REALM. Col:1:11-12: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Psalm:16:6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage.Psalm 16:11:Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.Psalm 113:7:He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; AS A TRUE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, WE HAVE ACCESS TO ALL WHAT THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE NAME OF OUR HOLY RIGHTEOUS ABBA FATHER LORD JESUS CHRIST DENOTES. 1Chro:29:11-13:Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all. Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name {and} those attributes which that name denotes. WE ARE JOINT HEIR WITH CHRIST, BECAUSE WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD. THEREFORE, ALL THE GOOD GIFT OF LIFE THAT COME FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHT ARE OURS. James:1:17 Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. LET US REFUSED TO SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESSER THAN WHAT CHRIST HAS ACQUIRED FOR US. John:10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have {and} enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). REV:21:6-7:And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life. He who is victorious shall inherit all these things, and I will be God to him and he shall be My son. 1Tim:6:17 As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud {and} arrogant {and} contemptuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but on God, Who richly {and} ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment. SO LET US MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE TO BELIEVE ONLY IN THE REPORT OF THE LORDS WORD, PROMISES, AND COVENANT. DEUT:30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live FOR GOD IS NOT A MAN THAT WILL LIE. Num:23:19 God is not a man, that He should tell {or} act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance {or} compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good? Isaiah:55:8-11:For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please {and} purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. IT IS OUR INHERITANCE TO EMBRACE WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS DONE FOR US. HE WAS BEATEN AND STRUCK SO WE DONT NEED TO BEAT OUR SELF THROUGH SELF STRIVING TO GET ACCEPTANCE FROM GOD. 2Cor:5:21 For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in {and} through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness]. 2Cor:8:9 For you are becoming progressively acquainted with {and} recognizing more strongly {and} clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied). AS JOINT HEIR WITH CHRIST, WE ARE CHRIST, AND AS HE IS IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW AT THE RIGHT HAND OF OUR HOLY RIGHTEOUS ABBA FATHER, SO TOO ARE IN THIS WORLD RIGHT NOW.1 Corinthians 3:23: And ye are Christs; and Christ is Gods. 1 John 4:17:Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. BEING BORN OF GOD, THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE ARE IN CHRIST. WE ARE WHOM WE ARE NOT BECAUSE OF OUR BEHAVIOUR, BUT BECAUSE WE ARE IN CHRIST. ALL WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO IDENTIFY OURSELVES TO WHOM WE ARE IN CHRIST. 1Cor:1:30 But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin]. WE ARE RIGHTEOUS NOT BECAUSE WE DO RIGHT, BUT BECAUSE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OUR RIGHTEOUS, WE HAVE WISDOM NOT BECAUSE WE ARE WISE IN OF OURSELVES, BUT WE ARE WISE BECAUSE CHRIST MADE US WISE, WE ARE REDEEMED NOT BECAUSE WE DO ANY RIGHT THINGS, WE ARE REDEEMED BECAUSE OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST REDEEMED US, SO LIKEWISE WE MUST RECKON OURSELVES AS HOLY NOT IN OF OURSELVES, BUT CHRIST IS THE ONE THAT MADE US HOLY. ALL THESE OUR IDENTITY IS IN OUR SPIRIT, THE MONENT CHRIST CAME INTO OUR LIVES IN AT THE PLACE OF BORN AGAIN. 1Cor:6:17 But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him. 1Cor:3:23 And you are Christs, and Christ is Gods. 1Cor:15:40-49:There are heavenly bodies (sun, moon, and stars) and there are earthly bodies (men, animals, and plants), but the beauty {and} glory of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, while the beauty {and} glory of earthly bodies is a different kind. The sun is glorious in one way, the moon is glorious in another way, and the stars are glorious in their own [distinctive] way; for one star differs from {and} surpasses another in its beauty {and} brilliance. So it is with the resurrection of the dead. [The body] that is sown is perishable {and} decays, but [the body] that is resurrected is imperishable (immune to decay, immortal). It is sown in dishonor {and} humiliation; it is raised in honor {and} glory. It is sown in infirmity {and} weakness; it is resurrected in strength {and} endued with power. It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. [As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]. But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual. The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] {the Lord} from out of heaven.Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we {and so} {let us} also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven. ALL WHAT OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS, WE BECAME THE SAME WHEN WE EXPERIENCED THE REGENERATION OF THE SPIRIT. AS CHRIST DIED, WE DIED IN HIM, AS HE WAS BURIED, WE ARE BURIED WITH HIM, AND AS HE WAS RAISED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, WE ARE RAISED IN HIM, AND AS HE IS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER RIGHT NOW, SO TOO ARE WE IN HIM AT THE RIGHT HAND OF OUR HOLY RIGHTEOUS ABBA FATHER LORD GOD. Rom:6:3-11: Are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might [habitually] live {and} behave in newness of life. For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]. We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective {and} inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin. For when a man dies, he is freed (loosed, delivered) from [the power of] sin [among men]. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, Because we know that Christ (the Anointed One), being once raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. For by the death He died, He died to sin [ending His relation to it] once for all; and the life that He lives, He is living to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him]. Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin {and} your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. AS A TRUE BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, WE ARE PARTAKER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST DIVINE NATURE. WE DONT TRY TO BE, WE ARE MADE SO THROUGH OUR NEW BIRTH IN CHRIST BY HIS SPIRIT. WE MUST QUIT TRYING TO BE WHOM WE ARE THROUGH OUR SELF EFFORT, BUT ONLY BELIEVE IN WHOM THE LORD HAS MADE US TO BE IN HIS SON. 2Pet:1:2-4: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
