also, ive not stated that being saved is the reward..... i posted the verse that says the reward is the inheritance, and then i explained the KOG, and also The Resurrection.
Behold said:also, ive not stated that being saved is the reward....
"reward" = "The Gift of Salvation".
So, you retract saying the reward is the gift of salvation. Good for you.
This is true. Inheriting the kingdom of God is only for the righteous in the resurrection of the dead.. i posted the verse that says the reward is the inheritance, and then i explained the KOG, and also The Resurrection.
It is the promised reward for them that do His word, and are not hearers only.
True. Sons and people of God are the inheritance and purchased possession for the Lord, both body and spirit.The Born again are the reward that was gained by the Cross of Christ.......
The Born again are Christ's Inheritance..... He purchased the Born again with His Blood.
Sons of God do not inherit the Father's kingdom until their resurrection, as reward for doing our Father's will on earth unto the end.
Are you saying you have already inherited the Father's everlasting kingdom?Also....
“In him we have obtained an inheritance”
That is not what these words of Scripture are saying. There's nothing about having inherited anything, other than a promised hope.
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
This is the predestinated inheritance for all saints in the resurrection of the dead.
A son obtaining an inheritance at birth, has obtained a predestined inheritance only.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Until our death and resurrection of the just, that predestined inheritance is reserved for us in heaven, while we remain alive on earth.
Like a son on earth, we have some growing and working of the Father's will to do first, in order to receive the reward of inheritance.
With men, being firstborn may be the only means of inheritance, which is therefore a free gift, and not by reward. The fact that the Father's inheritance is by reward, shows it is only inherited once doing the Father's will unto the end.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
In the meantime, we have the earnest of the inheritance in the Holy Spirit, for power and help to do His will. It's not once saved by grace, that we receive the reward, but only by once doing the word unto the end.
Once we are saved by grace, we have obtained a predestined inheritance reserved in heaven for us, but only once we have done the Father's will unto the end of this life, do we inherit His kingdom by reward in the resurrection. Which is the redemption of the purchased possession of God.
Are you saying you have already inherited the Father's everlasting kingdom, while still in flesh and blood on earth?
Are you saying you have already inherited the Father's kingdom in heaven, while still on earth?
And "OBTAINED" the inheritance is by being "One with God"......already = born again...."seated in Heavenly places". "in Christ"
