The Son has been promised by the Father that He will inherit all of the earth (Psalm 2). The Son is also going to inherit a holy people. His holy people are his rich and glorious inheritance (Ephesians 1:18). He is, right now, making His people holy to prepare them to be His inheritance. Think of it, oh believer. Think of it, oh church! We are what Christ will one day get as an inheritance. Does that change the way you think of the kind of person you should be now, preparing yourself for that day when He inherits us, His bride? Be holy! You are His prize!
“Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word. He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.” Ephesians 5:25b-27 (NLT)
