Below
you will find a collection of verses that describe our inheritance
in Christ.
Heirs of the promise:
Romans 4:16-17
"For this reason it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with
grace, in order that the promise may be certain to all the descendants,
not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the
faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, [17] (as it is written, "a
father of many nations have I made you") in the sight of Him whom
he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being
that which does not exist."
Romans 8:17
"and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with
Him."
Galatians 3:7-14
"Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons
of Abraham. [8] And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "All
the nations shall be blessed in you. [9] So then those who are of faith
are blessed with Abraham the believer. [10] For as many as are of the works
of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone
who does not abide by all things written in the book of the Law, to perform
them" [11] Now that no-one is justified by the Law before God is evident;
for, "The righteous man shall live by faith. [12] However, the Law
is not faith; on the contrary, "He who practices them shall live by
them." [13] Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become
a curse for us -- for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs
on a tree"--[14] in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham
might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the
Spirit through faith."
Galatians 3:29
"And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs
according to promise."
Galatians 4:7
"Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then
an heir through God."
Ephesians 1:9-11
"He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His intention
which He purposed in Him [10] with a view to an administration suitable
to the fulness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ,
things in the heavens and things upon the earth. In Him [11] also we have
been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the
counsel of His will,"
Princes & Princesses:
Psalm 145:1
"I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever
and ever."
Psalm 145:10-13
"All Your works shall give thanks to You, O Lord, and Your godly ones
shall bless you. [11] They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and
talk of Your power; [12] to make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts,
and the glory of the majesty of your kingdom. [13] Your kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations."

an heir through God."

Him."

us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,"

may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory
of His inheritance in the saints, [19] and what is the surpassing greatness
of His power toward us who believe, in accordance with the working of the
strength of His might [20] which He brought about in Christ, when He raised
Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
[21] far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come."
Ephesians 1:11

to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will."
Colossians 3:23,24
"Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than
for men; [24] knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of
the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve."
Hebrews 11:16
"But as it is, they desire a better country, that is a heavenly one.
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared
a city for them."
1 Peter 1:4,5
"to obtain an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and will not
fade away, reserved in heaven for you, [5] who are protected by the power
of God for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
1 Peter 2:9,10
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people
for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him
who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; [10] for you
once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not
received mercy, but now you have received mercy."
1 Cor. 3:21-23
"So then, let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, [22]
whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things
present or things to come; all things belong to you, [23] and you belong
to Christ; and Christ belongs to God."
