DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that every Christian should recognize the
incredible promises of an eternal inheritance from God, which is not
based on personal merit but on our faith and relationship with Him. This
divine inheritance is a gift from the One who owns everything, given to
those He delights to honor. Tozer reminds us that our status as children
of God grants us rights to this inheritance, which is recorded in
heaven. He highlights that the blessings prepared for those who love God
are beyond human imagination, encouraging believers to trust in God's
generous promises.

CONTENT

Every Christian believer should be aware that our God has given us
definite promises of an amazing inheritance to be realized in the
eternal! The blessings and riches of our divine inheritance are not
riches that will come to us for anything that is worthy or superior in
ourselves; but will come because of our relationship in faith to the One
who is the fount of every blessing. We must remember that an inheritance
has not actually been earned. Such bequests come from One who owns
everything and gives to another whom He delights to honor and who can
establish his rightful claim.

Inheritance is a right resulting from a relationship.

In this case, the right belongs to the children of God by virtue of the
fact that their identification as children of God by faith in the
eternal Son of God has been established and is in the heavenly records!
The apostle said of us: "Men and women cannot imagine or even dream of
all the things which God has prepared for those who love Him!"
