* So, you equate 'inheritance' as 'reward', to be enjoyed in resurrection life? Yes?
lay up treasure in Heaven. For inheritance ask: what treasure did Paul lay up in Heaven...a crown of righteousness. Glory? Even Abraham ...the blessing was children. Even fruitful land in be fruitful and multiply...what is the fruit of the loins of compassion. Doesn’t Matthew 5:43-48 Speak of God as perfect? “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For
if ye love them which love you,
what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [47] And if ye salute your brethren only,
what do ye more than others ? do not even the publicans so? [48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
“...for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.“
The promise of feed your enemies and heap coals of fire on their head. We see this promise fulfilled, yeah? Consider Stephen and the young man named Saul they who stoned Stephen laid their coats at Sauls feet. Stephens cry to God to forgive them. “...for he makes his sun to rise” ...did God’s light rise on Saul? Did God’s light rise on Evil
destroying the works of evil? Don’t forget Paul said he was an enemy of the church and wasted it. Acts 22:6-11 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a
great light round about me. [7] And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me? [8] And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. [9] And they that were with me
saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me. [10] And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. [11] And when I could not see
for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
All the times God says they WILL hate you For My Name Sake...then the instructions and promise to intreat...bless those who curse you. Overcome evil with good. Yes, He comes ‘to give’ according to their works. “Bless” and curse not in blessing overcomes the curse. Will God “give” the blessing over the curse? All nations
will be blessed through those of Him is the inheritance...
