In whom also we have obtained an inheritance Ephesians 1:11
The phrase “in whom” means in Christ and is used many times in the New Testament. This reference has to do with an inheritance. Christ is the Heir of all things (Heb. 1:2), and we are joint heirs with Him (Rom. 8:17). Imagine that! Sinners that we were, and yet, sharing an inheritance with Him. Yet more amazing is that we are said to be “His inheritance” (vs. 18). Finally Paul says that we are “the fulness of Him that filleth all in all”(vs. 23). Every time God saves a lost sinner He takes a nobody and makes them a somebody. —Harold G. Smith
I belong to the King, I’m a child of His love,
And He never forsaketh His own;
He will call me some day to His palace above,
I shall dwell by His glorified throne. —Maurice Clifton
