Colossians 1:12
“Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light.”
Joshua 1:3
“Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given to you, as I promised to Moses.”
The Father has qualified us for a share of the inheritance in Christ. This inheritance is described as the “allotted portion of the saints in the light.” Just as the children of Israel were given a portion of the good land, we too have been given Christ as our portion.
This allotment is in the light, signifying that our enjoyment of Christ is in the realm of divine light. When we walk in fellowship with God, we experience Him as the light that exposes, purifies, and enlightens. This light enables us to see and take possession of the riches in Christ.
To fully enjoy this allotment, we need to walk by faith and engage our spirit. Like Joshua and Caleb, we must take the land through spiritual warfare, rejecting the enemy’s lies and laying hold of Christ’s riches. This enjoyment strengthens us to live a victorious Christian life and be built up into His dwelling place.
