1st Peter 1:4. “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,”
AN INHERITANCE. From among the dead a stirring never known before The Giver of Life who gave His life Into His body life returns And He is alive for evermore.
Men who were dead in trespasses and sins Were born again by the Spirit of God Who can give spiritual life and hope in a Person; Now a whole new family is formed, all who’ve been born again.
Temporarily we are here, but in this place we won’t stay An inheritance we have tasted awaits our coming And we, with Him who died and rose again Are joint-heirs of eternal blessings through an eternal day.
There is nothing in that inheritance that will spoil or rust It is impervious to all elements around For all of the inheritance is spiritual in nature Every part of it has the divine imprint of the God in whom we trust.
This inheritance won’t perish, we can’t use it till it’s gone It has the essence of God in every part The fullness of this inheritance cannot be measured There is no way to deplete all its riches until they’re done.
Every part of this inheritance retains its inherent freshness It’s like it is new every time we claim a part The brightness of spiritual glories forever it retains Such an abundant inheritance with all its glories He has given us.
“I think I am tasting some of the blessings already Father God, of all inheritance means. The conference filled me with joy when I heard those young men Thou hast called to Thy service. Preserve them, O God. They are smart, gifted servants – but they are men. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
