Episode notes
Understanding 'His Inheritance'
- The inheritance mentioned in Ephesians 1:18 primarily means what God gives to us, the saints, not what God receives from us.
- The context, Greek language, and Paul's usage all indicate the saints inherit God's riches and grace, not the other way around.
Parallel Language in Ephesians
- The phrase "his inheritance" parallels "his calling" and "his power" showing consistency in God's active giving.
- It is logical that all these attributes belong to God as giver, making the inheritance something given to believers, not received by God.
