Joshua 13:7;
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Ephesians 1:11;
in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Colossians 1:12
giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light
The good land was divided among the twelve tribes of Israel, showing that every believer has a unique portion of Christ as their inheritance. Ephesians 1:11 declares that we have obtained an inheritance in Christ, and Colossians 1:12 speaks of giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the portion of the saints.
Each tribe received a specific portion of the land, signifying that every believer has a unique experience of Christ to enjoy and express. Together, the tribes’ portions make up the fullness of the good land.
In the Body of Christ, we are called to enjoy our portion while also appreciating and benefiting from others’ portions.
Thought of the day/Main Points:
– The division of the good land signifies the unique portion of Christ for each believer.
– Our inheritance in Christ is personal yet part of a corporate enjoyment.
– The fullness of Christ is experienced through the Body of Christ, where every member contributes.
