WHAT DID IT MEAN TO INHERIT?
Inheritance – to take possession. Inheritance is first used in the Old Testament to describe how land ownership was transferred. You could purchase, seize or inherit land. Inheritance was the only method that didn’t require effort. As you study Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Joshua, look at the concept of inheritance in each story. In the New Testament, inheritance is used to describe our birthright when we are born again. What is your inheritance as a child of God? Watch the blog each week as we take a look at models of inheritance in the Old Testament and what it means for each of us.
