Did you know those that believe and trust ONLY in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus have an inheritance in heaven?
The first chapter of the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians is a super exciting chapter that outlines the saved believer's position in grace and what they have NOW after having believed and trusted the gospel that saves. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV).
Read for yourself the first chapter of Ephesians in the King James Version (KJV) and pray on these verses for what we have NOW as saved believers.
Ephesians 1:3 KJV We have ALL spiritual blessings right now in the heavens !
Ephesians 1:4 KJV We are holy and without blame now. How can that be you say? When God looks at us now, we are holy and without blame before Him in love because we trust in Jesus' death burial and resurrection for salvation. When we trusted the gospel, not only were our sins forgiven, but Jesus' righteousness was applied to our account forever. We could never earn that or any righteousness on our own in the flesh by doing good works !
Ephesians 1:5 KJV We are now adopted as children in God's family forever !
Ephesians 1:6 KJV We are accepted in the beloved. We are accepted by God NOW !
Ephesians 1:7 KJV We have been redeemed by God and our sins are forgiven now and forever by the blood of Christ. This is all according to the riches of God's grace and love towards you !
Ephesians 1:9 KJV We now know the mystery of God's will ! (For all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth by trusting in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus alone for salvation. 1 Timothy 2:4 KJV)
Ephesians 1:11 KJV We have obtained an inheritance in heaven !
Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV Our salvation and inheritance is sealed by the Holy Spirit who now dwells in us ! This word seal in scripture means a finished purchased transaction and security! Our salvation is eternally secured and cannot be lost as we believe/trust in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus for salvation and nothing else.
To be saved and eternally secure now, then trust in the simple gospel that saves. Trust ONLY in the death, burial , and resurrection of Jesus for your salvation and to immediately reconcile you back to God from who your sin has separated you.
To grow in God's grace, learn your new identity , and yes earn rewards in heaven then read the sound doctrine specific to the body of Christ in Romans through Philemon KJV and apply it to the inner man.
The gospel that saves - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
Renew your mind daily with sound doctrine - Romans 12:2 KJV
Earn rewards by applying sound doctrine (Romans through Philemon KJV) in your life - 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 KJV
Grace and Peace !!!
