AS A CHRISTIAN ARE YOU CLAIMING AND LIVING IN YOUR INHERITANCE NOW?

By John Ollis

Many of my readers will know I often quote the writer to Hebrews words regarding GOD’S SO GREAT SALVATION, as the longer I am a Christian the more I realise the breadth and depth and width of God’s Salvation plan. When we are born again we are so aware for the first time I AM FORGIVEN, and for many it can be years (including me) before one realises Salvation is so much more than that. This is why I am committed to the GREAT COMMISSION to MAKE DISCIPLES.

Sadly, we can develop a mindset of when I sin, I simply ask for forgiveness, and happily quote 1 John 1:1:9 N.I.V If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. and claim our forgiveness, and our awesome God graciously forgives us, BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO GOD’S SO GREAT SALVATION.

Again the writer to Hebrews tells us in 4:16 N.I.V. Therefore let us draw near with CONFIDENCE to the throne of grace, so that we may receive MERCY and find GRACE to help in time of need.
1. We have ACCESS to the throne of God 24?7

2. We find MERCY from our awesome God.

3. We find GRACE to be able to handle every situation 2 Cor. 12:19 N.I.V. My grace is SUFFICIENT for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”

This all part of our glorious inheritance as a Believer NOW. Eph.1:11 N.I.V .Also we have obtained an INHERITANCE, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

OUR NAMES AS BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS AND ARE WRITTEN CLEARLY IN THE WILL (THE WORD OF GOD).SO LET US LEARN TO RIGHTLY CLAIM WHAT IS OURS TO HAVE NOW.

Paul tells us in 1 Cor.10:13 N.I.V. NO TEMPTATION has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and GOD IS FAITHFUL, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will PROVIDE THE WAY OF ESCAPE ALSO, so that you will be able to endure it

I am not teaching “sinless perfection” this is the Word of God, THIS IS OUR INHERITANCE AS A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER. The Apostle John indicates in 1 John 1:9 that we will sadly fail the Lord, but let us not only be seeking forgiveness when we fail the Lord, but continue to learn to live the REPENTANCE FILLED LIFE.

Sadly, many Christians just think of “repentance” as something we do when we come to the Lord to find Him as our Saviour, but the word REPENT/REPENTANCE is very much a WORD FOR CHRISTIANS.

The Greek word, includes the idea of, thinking differently, reconsider, reverse and turn.

When I have my Quiet Time, I not only ask for forgiveness for the sins I have committed but ask for the LORD’S GRACE TO REPENT AND TURN AWAY FROM SIN.

I DON’T WANT A SIN/CONFESS MINDSET, BUT A CONFESS/REPENT AND TURN MINDSET,

My inheritance through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ now includes the privilege of learning to live victoriously over sin, and to live a holy life because of GOD’S SO GREAT SALVATION.

I trust this blog will encourage you to claim your inheritance now, and walk in a higher level of victory and holiness.
