What it Means to Inherit the Kingdom of God

 It means your inheritance is the Kingdom of God

Galatians 5:19–21

What it means to trust Lord Jesus and walk with Him to gain the Kingdom of God.

You do not earn inheritance like you earn a paycheck.

You inherit when you belong to a Family.

When your mother or father dies you come to inheritance just because you are in Family.

Bible treats death of Jesus as that kind of transaction of the way we come to inheritance.

******************************************

Oznacza to, że twoim dziedzictwem jest Królestwo Boże

Co oznacza zaufanie Panu Jezusowi i chodzenie z Nim, aby zdobyć Królestwo Boże.

Nie zarabiasz na dziedzictwo tak, jak zarabiasz na wypłatę.

Dziedziczysz, gdy należysz do Rodziny.

Gdy umiera twoja matka lub ojciec, otrzymujesz dziedzictwo tylko dlatego, że jesteś w Rodzinie.

Biblia traktuje śmierć Jezusa jako tego rodzaju transakcję, w jaki sposób otrzymujemy dziedzictwo.

Tak więc przynależność do Chrystusa, który należy do Boga, czyni was dziedzicami wszystkiego.

Galatians 3:18

 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.

So this is the concept of inheritance.

The inheritance comes to people not by Law but by the Promise.

Galatians 3:29

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

So - if you belong to Messiah Lord Jesus then you are the Abrahams offspring.

So Gentiles come to the Promise by trusting in Lord Jesus Messiah.

Romans 4:13

 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

So inheritance is summed up here as the World.

Gentiles who belong to Jesus inherit the world.

Galatians 4:6-7

6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Romans 9:6-8

6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring

So here we have a shift from offspring of Abrahan to Children of God.

Those who trust in the Lord Jesus are counted as Children of God.

We inherit the Kingdom by trusting and belonging to Lord Jesus who is the Son of God.

What is inheritance of the Kingdom of God?

Matthew 5:5

Blessed are the meek,

    for they will inherit the earth.

So all the earth will belong to believers, followers of Jesus.

Matthew 25:34

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

So Kingdom of God becomes our Kingdom.

As the Children of God we inherit:

earth

world

Kingdom

salvation

promises

Paul sums it all up:

1 Corinthians 3:21-23

21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.

So belonging to Christ who belongs to God makes you heirs of everything.

2 Timothy 2:11-12

11 Here is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with him,

    we will also live with him;

12 if we endure,

    we will also reign with him.

If we disown him,

    he will also disown us;
