An Inheritance Unlike Any Other

“Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.” Genesis 12:1

What an amazing man our father Abraham was! He uprooted himself from all that was familiar to obey a God who promised him: “I will make of you a great nation, ​and I will bless you; I will make your name great, ​so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you ​and curse those who curse you. All the communities of the earth ​shall find blessing in you.”

The story of Abraham is an adventure of faith. We can make the same journey, because God promises us many wonderful things too. We just need to find out more about it, much the same way as a person with an inheritance has to look through a will. Sometimes, before a bequest is given, there are requirements that have to be met. Some eccentric wills have required the beneficiary to visit the family home once a year, or to marry before a certain age, or to take care of a person, pet or property. 

We are heirs of a wonderful unique plan of God for each one of us. Our inheritance will not rot, perish, decay, or be destroyed by any natural calamity, or law of entropy. For what God has promised is heaven itself! It is unlike any other promise made by man, because it is the Creator of the Universe who made this promise of eternal life. It is so worth it to find out exactly what we have to do to inherit this awesome gift!
