Inheritance...what exactly is it? (Jesus, paradise, Kingdom, church)

[Mestemia]

Would someone be so kind as to explain exactly what this inheritance is?

[JayHawes]

We know that we shall inherit eternal life in paradise. But we dont know everything,

1co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

There are many gifts and rewards which God shall give, we shall even recieve a home in heaven, and powers (over kingdoms) of which we cannot concieve. However, like the verse says no one knows what God has in store for those who love him.

Re 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride(Church) adorned for her husband (Christ)

Re 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Re 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Re 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Re 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Re 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.


We will inherit a life where there is no more pain, no mroe wrong, no more suffering. I want everyone to go there, but people wish to do their own thing....(*_*)...Srcipture says we (Christians) will inheret all things. Exactaly what "all things" is, is beyond me. What we do know is that we gain eternal life with God. And how blessed that will be!

"[Jesus came] 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" Acts 26:18

Zec 8:3-12
(3) Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
(4) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
(5) And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
(6) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
(7) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
(8) And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
(9) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
(10) For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
(11) But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
(12) For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
