inherit

Hebrews 1:14 - Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?


Mark 10:17 - As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

Hebrews 2:2-3 - For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.

Hebrews 9:27-28 - Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Application:

· Do I think in terms of earning righteousness to merit eternal life or do I see it as a gift?
· If the Mosaic law came with retribution for failure to follow and obey, then surely the greater salvation announced by the Lord come with more dangerous retribution for those who neglect it
· When Christ appears again, it will be the consummation, in all His glorious fullness, of the salvation purchased for me on the cross
