Believers also inherit spiritual blessings as God's children, including an inheritance of riches in the saints mentioned in Ephesians. 3. As adopted sons and daughters of God, believers inherit the full rights of sonship, are no longer slaves but children, and joint heirs with Christ.

9. The world is but a great inn, where
we stay a night or two, and be
gone; what madness is it so to set
our heart upon our inn, as to
forget our home ~ Watson

10. 2. BELIEVERS INHEIRIT SPIRITUAL

been predestined according to the purpose of him
who works all things according to the counsel of his
will,

12. What do we inherit?
They inherit salvation (Heb 1:14)
They inherit eternal life (Mt 19:29; Lk 10:25; Tit 3:7; 1Pe 3:7)
They have the full rights of sons (Gal 4:4-7)
They have the rights of the firstborn (Heb 12:22-23,Ex 4:22;
2Ki 2:9)
They inherit the earth (Mt 5:5, Ps 37:11)
They inherit the kingdom (Mt 25:34,Lk 22:28-30; Rev 3:21)
They inherit all things (Lk 15:31; 1Co 3:21-22; Rev 21:7)
Their inheritance is the word of God Ps 119:111
It is a good inheritance Ps 16:6

13. 3. BELIEVERS ARE HEIRS TO THE FULL
RIGHTS OF SONS & DAUGHTERS
Eph 1:5

through Jesus Christ, according to the
purpose of his will,
John 1:12
But to all who did receive him, who believed in
his name, he gave the right to become children

14. Galatians 4:1-7 (NIV)
What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is
no different from a slave, although he owns the whole
estate. The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until
the time set by his father. So also, when we were underage,
we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces of
the world. But when the set time had fully come, God sent
his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem
those under the law, that we might receive adoption to
sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his
Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,
Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and
since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

15. Romans 8:14-17
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the
children of God. The Spirit you received does not
make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;
rather, the Spirit you received brought about your
adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba,
Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit
that we are God’s children. Now if we are children,
then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with
Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order
that we may also share in his glory.
