Inheritance

We freely inherit all things

Ps 49:10

So now brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Acts 20:32

To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they might receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.
Acts 26:18
(Paul remembering what Jesus said to him)

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs – heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ if indeed we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified together.
Romans 8: 16,17
I like to say: “I’m a joint heir with Jesus Christ – the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords”

In Him we were made God’s heritage and obtained an inheritance because we had been chosen and appointed beforehand according to His will. This is so that we who first hoped in Christ would live to the praise of His glory. In Him you trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. You were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the *guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession - to the praise of His glory!
Ephesians 1: 11-14
*The Holy Spirit is the down-payment

For if the inheritance is of the law it is no longer of promise, but God gave it to Abraham by promise….and if you are Christ’s then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
Gal 3:18, 29

That the gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel.
Ephesians 3:6

In my father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so I would not have told you I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2

But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God for he has prepared a city for them.
Heb 11:16

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, “Come you blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
Matthew 25:34

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you.
1 Peter 1:3,4

But as it is written, “Eye has not seen, not ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
1 Cor 2:9

And whatever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance, for you serve the Lord Christ.
Col 3:23, 24

Wait on the Lord and keep His way and He shall exalt you to inherit the land.
Psalm 37:34

This is the work of God - that you believe.
John 6:29

I am the Lord, and there is no other. There is no God besides me. I gird you, though you have not known me.

2 COR 10:4,5 Our weapons are mighty casting down every thought that exalts itself against God
verse 6: you will avenge disobedience when your obedience is complete

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to destroy strongholds. We demolish
arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
NIV

Romans 8:37 Version 1
In all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.

Romans 8:37-39 Version 2
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither life, nor death, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation is able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
