So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Acts 20.32
It is impossible for anyone to remain resolute about repentance, because this is the best gift we can receive from the Most High. There is no way that the enemy can tempt us and defeat us with his lies: the graces received through Christ are far superior to any promise made to us by Satan. We have been entrusted to the Word of God and to Him, Who can build us up and give us an inheritance among all the sanctified. Let the Holy Spirit entrust you to the Lord's care and be saved.
What is our inheritance? It is made up of all the blessings revealed in the Scriptures, but the careless person, who does not seek his right, will never know it. Unfortunately, there are people with enough time to watch countless TV programs, but not to bend their reason before the Truth. It is God Himself in our midst, so it´s reasons are infinitely better than ours. Let the Most High build you up!
Isaiah spoke clearly about our inheritance: No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me, says the LORD (Isaiah 54.17). The previous revelation is essential, because it makes sure that the weapons prepared by the enemy against Christians don't hit them, even if they think they are insignificant.
We are commissioned by God to build ourselves up in a way that pleases Him. What the Lord does will be very different from what man imagines, but possibly even stronger. Divine love will do this for us, as the Holy Spirit has declared. No saved person has to worry about missing the next day's food or clothing, thinking that their tribulations are proof that they have been forgotten by the Savior. That will never happen to the One who bought us (Matthew 6:25-34)!
The prophet Isaiah also commended us to the Word of His grace, to the living Word of the Lord, and He will keep us until the end. So be positive, don't bend to the enemy, but stand firm and strong in your faith in Christ. That way, you will never be ashamed or defeated (2 Corinthians 2:14). We are God's best in the world: His image and likeness. That's why the devil hates us and wants to kill, steal and destroy us (John 10:10). But God is the Greatest!
The Most High is powerful to build us up so that we no longer fall or cause harm to His Kingdom (Jude 1.24,25). However, if you don't watch out, you will fall into temptation and then be trapped in the snares of the evil one. Is it possible to be freed from a wrong step? Yes, with the Lord ahead of us, we will never lose the battle. Believe and live from glory to glory and from victory to victory (1 John 1:8-2:1). There is no chance of the kingdom of darkness annihilating us.
God is also powerful to give us an inheritance among the sanctified. This includes those who have been the greatest among men in sanctification and service for the heavenly Kingdom, and those who have been more or less in fulfilling their duties. All those called by the Lord who are outside His house today must return as soon as possible, because they run the risk of experiencing eternal death. God loves them!
In Christ, with love,
