Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 1:3-14 (day two) also we have obtained an inheritance vs. 11a
Have you been the recipient of an estate settlement or financial inheritance? Perhaps it was expected and well planned and communicated. Regardless, it was likely a blessing to have more without having “earned” it in the usual sense. Paul reminds us that the inheritance we receive when we are found in Christ is an eternal fountainhead. Many of us understand pensions, 401k accounts, and investments which will have a level of depreciation once distributed. This is not how salvation works. Through Christ we are inheriting eternity. This kind of lavish gift is attainable for everyone. This is also a distinction from most inheritance. There is no need to hoard or hide what we have freely received. The hope is that we make everyone aware of the freedom found in Christ Jesus.
