The Jesus Bible Reading Plan / INHERITANCE

The Jesus Bible Reading Plan

Day 110 of 365 INHERITANCE At the culmination of the book of Numbers, God's people were given a detailed description of where God was leading them after all the years of wandering. There they received the inheritance that God had promised and had been faithful to fulfill. God's people throughout the Bible are promised such an inheritance. Unlike the children of Israel, however, Christians do not receive an inheritance because of a national identity but because of an adoption effected through the blood of the Son of God (Col 1:12). Because of the gift of Jesus, the Father qualifies believers to participate in an inheritance that they could never deserve. In addition, unlike the children of Israel, the church does not receive an earthly inheritance of tangible significance. The earthly inheritance is found in the hope, joy and peace that comes through knowing they have a right relationship with God and a secure eternal destiny. The church is granted a heavenly and eternal inheritance - Jesus Christ himself. Jesus, I have wandered aimlessly. Thank you for not forgetting me, not giving up on me. Thank you for adopting me into God's family. Amen. Numbers 34:3-12 Colossians 1:12 Numbers 34:3-12 NASB 3 Your southern sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward. 4 Then your border shall turn direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh-barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon. 5 The border shall turn direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea. 6 'As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your west border. 7 'And this shall be your north border: you shall draw your border line from the Great Sea to Mount Hor. 8 You shall draw a line from Mount Hor to the Lebo-hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad; 9 and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar-enan. This shall be your north border. 10 'For your eastern border you shall also draw a line from Hazar-enan to Shepham, 11 and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth. 12 And the border shall go down to the Jordan and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders all around.'" Colossians 1:12 NASB 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.
