The second of the blessings that Paul mentions is that we have the inheritance of God. This is not our own inheritance, but it is God’s inheritance that is shared with us because of Christ. We may spend our lives gaining wealth here on earth, and getting that wealth may drive us. Even if we don't have the big house on the hill or the fancy car, Paul reminds us that we have been given the riches of God that surpass anything this world can offer us. This helps us to understand that the things of God are better than the things of man, and it encourages us to know that we have been given that inheritance because we are God’s sons and daughters, who were adopted through the work of Jesus. Your bank account might not be filled with money, but Christ has made you more wealthy than you realize.
