Ephesians 1:11
11 In him, we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will
I come from neither a large nor a wealthy family. I’m not expecting to quit my job and live off of millions in inheritance whenever that time comes. I am certain though of my standing as a son of the most high God, and the lavish riches He has poured out on me.
There are layers of depth to this verse. It begins so simply as a reminder that all of this is in, is from, and is because of, Jesus. Due to no merit of your own, you’ve been granted an inheritance from God. Did you catch that? It was his plan and for his purpose. That is grace.
