which hath made us meet to be partakers of

the inheritance of the saints in light:

How would you describe, define, or explain

"the inheritance of the saints in light"?

He is speaking of our eternal inheritance such as rewards, being seated with Him in heavenly places, ruling and reigning with Christ on earth;  these saints walk in the light even as He is in the light.

Hi Willa,

Thank you for contributing several worthy points to consider.

I would like to magnify them with scriptures, and then add an

additional point for consideration.

He is speaking of our eternal inheritance such as rewards

Colossians 3:

24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive

the reward of the inheritance:

for ye serve the Lord Christ.

25 But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong

which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

On 4/3/2024 at 11:33 PM, Willa said:

ruling and reigning with Christ on earth

Revelation 3:21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me

on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

I would point out that this is one of seven rewards promised for those

who overcome, and is not the same as this present status:

Ephesians 2:

4 But God, who is rich in mercy,

for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened

us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us

sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the

exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness

toward us through Christ Jesus.

On 4/3/2024 at 11:33 PM, Willa said:

 these saints walk in the light even as He is in the light.  

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light,

we have fellowship with one another, and the blood

of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

This statement and verse are particularly important,

as they illustrate how the eternal inheritance is 

inextricably linked to our relationship with one another,

as also the quote from Ephesians 2 above.

I would now like to consider how this process of

gaining the eternal inheritance is also linked to Sanctification.

Acts 20:32 So now, brethren, I commend you to God

and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up

and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light,

and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins,

and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.

which hath made us meet to be partakers of

the inheritance of the saints in light:

This Old English translation was used intentionally to draw 

attention to this truth: "made us meet";

translated 'made fit to be', 'enabled' or 'qualified'; i.e.

has made us eligible to be partakers of the Light.

John 3:

20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not

come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 

21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds

may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.

Those who overcome inherit the promises...

Revelation 21:7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things,

and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Ephesians 1:

11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

We are not those who first trusted Christ, nor have obtained their inheritance, but we have the same guarantee when we receive and are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, after having believed.

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

 

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

"the redemption of the purchased possession" 

Romans 8:

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

 

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Inheritance is given to heirs and children of God. To be light is to be the light of the world. It is not being considered normal in society but holding higher standards.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
