Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Colossians 1:11-12 (NLT)
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in THE INHERITANCE that belongs to his people, who live in the light.
The Passion Translation says, “We pray that you would be energized with all his explosive power from the realm of his magnificent glory, filling you with great hope. Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive THE GLORIOUS INHERITANCE FREELY GIVEN to us by living in the light.”
Our amazing, heavenly, Father, has made us to be partakers in the great inheritance that belongs to His beloved children…. You and I get to partake in the riches of His manifest glory and presence in our lives. You may ask, what is my inheritance? Do I get to access it now? Yes, by grace, through faith, you get to access all of His promises and blessings now while you are still on earth. Because of what Jesus did on the cross for you and me, He enabled you and I to walk in victory and access our inheritance that we have in Him.
Let’s look at just a few of the beautiful promises we have inherited in Christ.
- We get to walk in Victory
- We get to call ourselves the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus
- We get to use the Name of Jesus and the power and authority that comes with that name
- Our sins are not just forgiven, but our guilt and shame is removed as far as the east is from the west.
- We get to experience the power of His blood, healing and delivering and redeeming us
- We get to access the Word of God. When we read His Word, we experience His rhema life giving power, being revealed to us through the Word.
- We have access to the Father through the Name of Jesus
- We have the promise of the Holy Spirit living within us, guiding, leading and teaching us.
In His amazing love, Esther
