Tonight, let’s talk about OUR INHERITANCE
1.
What is Our Inheritance?
// Beatitudes > Kingdom of Heaven
Beatitudes
This is a list of blessings (inheritance) a follower of Christ will receive.
The list is given to us by Jesus, who I’m pretty sure would be the BEST resource for knowing what inheritance awaits us in Heaven.
The first portion of the Sermon on the Mount is known as the Beatitudes, which means “The Blessings” but can also be understood as giving the believer his “be—attitudes”—the attitudes he should “be.”
In the Beatitudes, Jesus sets forth both the nature and the aspirations of citizens of His kingdom.
They have and are learning these character traits.
Matt 5:
All of these character traits are marks and goals of all Christians.
It is not as if we can major in one to the exclusion of others
We should be striving to acquire ALL of these traits - as we do, our inheritance will grow.
Character Traits from the Beatitudes
Kingdom of Heaven
Comfort
Inherit the Earth
Righteousness
Mercy
See God
Called Sons & Daughters
Great Reward in Heaven
Inheriting Eternal Life
In order to partake in the the Kingdom of Heaven, we first need to inherit eternal life in Heaven
The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25
How to inherit eternal life:
Love God with all your Heart
Love God with all your Soul
Love God with all your Strength
Love God with all your Mind
Love your neighbor as Your Self
2. How do we acquire our inheritance?
Humility and Faith are the keys to gaining inheritance
DEFINE — Humility: an absence of pride or arrogance
Practical: “what can I do for you” NOT “what can you do for me”
Humility
Towards God
Humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God
Matthew 21
When we are humble, we willing choose to have ourselves broken before God.
When we live in pride, we willing choose to be crushed by the wrath of God.
This may sounds harsh, but the choice is yours.
You be humble = God will exalt
Towards Others
Towards Others
Clothe ourselves with humility towards others
Clothe lit.
means — to become
We are to become humility!
So we are not acting humble, we are humble
You can only act for so long, but if you are something, there’s no need to act, you just are
Faith
Faith is a weapon we will use to fight!
Fight What?
Fight off the attack of the enemy
Satan has no inheritance coming to him, nothing would please him more than for you not to receive your full inheritance.
1 Peter 5:
The enemy is coming after you and your inheritance, but your faith is what will fight the battle
tells us that we are to resist the devil, and stand firm in our faith
The Result
IF you are...
Humble towards God
Humble towards Others
Firm in your Faith
YOU will be...
Restored
Confirmed
Strengthened
Established
…all by God!
If you are humble towards God & Others, and firm in your faith; you will be restored, confirmed, strengthened, and established by God.
