Your Inheritance Awaits
In Matthew 25:34, Jesus describes a moment of profound invitation and joy: “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.’”
This verse highlights a central truth of the gospel: salvation is not something we earn, but a gift we receive. The word “inheritance” is key here. An inheritance is given because of a relationship, not because of works. Through Jesus, we are invited into God’s family, and as His children, we have a share in the kingdom he has prepared for us.

This inheritance is available not because of anything we can achieve but because of God’s grace, freely given to all who believe. How does knowing that salvation is a gift of grace, not works, change how you live today?

Nahum continues to remind us that God is a refuge in the midst of difficult times. Because God is all-powerful, He can protect you from the dangers of this world. But even when you face hard things, ...
