CLAIMING THE DETAILS OF YOUR INHERITANCE - PART 1

THURSDAY 01 JULY 2024

Although this is a new topic, this new series or concatenation is the continuation of just concluded topic, "Your inheritance" because the entirety of our glorious inheritance in accordance with the Gospel of truth is an overwhelming body of knowledge. Through this new topic, we can observantly gain further insight into the vastness of the theoretic wisdom or framework. More below!

Reference: Galatians 3:18 New International Version (NIV)

"For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in His grace gave it to Abraham through a promise."

Beloved, God in His grace, gave the inheritance to Abraham through a promise. This was God at work, not the Lord Jesus Christ, not my humble self as a supreme god, not the mere mortals. And the transaction was directly between God and Abraham. There was no mediator.

To that effect, Galatians 3:19-20 reads, "...God gave His law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people. Now a mediator is helpful if more than one party must reach an agreement. But God, who is one, did not use a mediator when He gave His promise to Abraham" (NLT). No He didn't! He dealt with Abraham on "one-on-one" strategic approach, meaning that the patriarchal personality was well-informed of every covenant decision on the basis of a more tailored promise, which is equally a scenario that signifies our direct relationship with God today, on account of salvation in an environment or place known as Christ, where God signals, "Come boldly to the throne of GRACE!"

Although Christ Himself is the mediator of the new covenant, in accordance with Hebraic versified missive, numbered as Hebrews 9:15, the main purpose of His mediation is for those who are called (the saints) to receive the promised eternal inheritance, having died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. Moreover, His mediation process does not hinder the saints from having a direct relationship with God, unlike people of the old covenant who could not approach God on a direct relational fundament. Got it?

Personally, I so much believe in experiencing God on a "one-on-one" basis, so as to gain first-hand knowledge of His glory, especially, on the strength and heights of revelatory insight. Such an encounter is a good justification for acquiring or assimilating any wondrous reasoning behind the Scriptures which you do not comprehend on the level of human understanding.

What about you? Think of His sovereign power of calling or willing anything into being, as well as profound divine intelligences wielded by the Word of His grace. For instance, Pauline epistolary insight says, "And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, 'In you shall all the nations be blessed'" (Galatians 3:8 NKJV).

What does it mean for the Scripture to foresee that God would justify the Gentiles, and proclaimed the good news of blessing them to Abraham in advance - with this promise? The Spirit behind the Scriptures sees ahead. So the profound intelligence of God's Word is certain to describe a future level of understanding and upcoming fulfilling eventualities concerning Christ. And the Scripture was proven right, because those who are people of faith, whether Jew or Gentile, are now blessed and highly favoured by God in Christ Jesus, having been declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God, along with Abraham, the ardent believer.

The above truth is plainly reserved for those who are committed to the "well-proven" laws of the supernatural, which is the Word of God. Psalm 119:60 reads, "All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal" (NIV). Observe and be mindful of the nature of the Scriptures in this versified statement: They are not only true; they are righteous laws, which are eternal. The eternality of the Word makes it possible for it to perceive what is to come. Got it? So the Word works on the basis that even in the present moment, there will be always more to know ahead of time. This also defines the advantageous effect of acting on Pauline epistolary dictum which informs, "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly..." (Colossians 3:16 ESV).

If the Word of God dwells or settles in you in a rich manner through habitual cogitative study and constant auditory perception, and you encourage the eagerness of assimilating the deep-seated nature of its erudite analysis, you are indeed training your spirit to know and perceive what is about to come or happen in the near future, both in your personal life and in your world because you are dealing with divine light. Got it? When you build an abiding relationship with the Scripture, it will make you wise to know and grasp things natural minds would not ordinarily know (see also 2 Timothy 3:15 NIV). And stay tuned for part 2. Shalom!
