As believers, we have an amazing inheritance. In this story the Lord commands Jeremiah to buy a field from his uncle in his hometown of Anathoth. Jeremiah is unlikely to get any benefit from the field, but he is to buy it anyway. God uses this event to promise future restoration of Israel. Fields will again be bought and sold in the land. This is a message of hope and promise in a time of destruction.
Many today are stopping short on the gospel. The Catholics and many others have a crucified "Jesus" (another Jesus) laying around. The problem is that even some Independent Baptists are heading the same direction. What does the Bible say about the Gospel?
God's people had sinned and He sent fiery serpents among them which bit them. However, God also gave a way of escape to those who would look and live.
In Adam all die, in Christ all are made alive. The question is who is your father?
Paul prayed for the Ephesians that the eyes of their understanding might be enlightened so that they might see, among other things, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. One of the greatest blessings for which God’s people need to be thankful is their inheritance in Christ.
