HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS

What does God get?

THE PRAYER
"…that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe…"
EPHESIANS 1:18

What has He done for me?
What is my inheritance?
How am I blessed?
What is my destiny?
MAN AT CENTRE
GOD-CENTRED
What does God get from us?
What has He obtained?
What is His inheritance?
How is He satisfied?
What is His purpose?

THE FINAL DISPLAY

The Christian life is not chiefly about acquiring from God.

It is about God obtaining His inheritance — in you.
