Read : Ephesians : 1:1-14
[The Holy Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession. - Ephesians 1:14
According to syndicated columnist L.M. Boyd, an out-of-work and penniless man was strolling along a San Francisco beach one day in 1949. The man, Jack Wurm, found a bottle with a note inside that read, "To avoid confusion, I leave my entire estate to the lucky person who finds this bottle and to my attorney, Barry Cohen, Share and share alike."
The courts accepted the document as the last will of Daisy Singer Alexander, heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune. She had thrown it into the Thames River in London 12 years earlier. Somehow drifting across the oceans, it washed ashore in California, where Jack Wurm went from poverty to wealth.
The Bible speaks of an imperishable inheritance reserved in heaven (1 Pet. 1:4). And all those who acknowledge their spiritual poverty become heirs to that wealth by trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Daisy Singer Alexander put her wealth in a bottle because she couldn't take it with her. Jack Wurm, who inherited it, couldn't wake it with him either. But thank God, we are heirs to a wonderful salvation that begins in this life and will be fully realized throughout all eternity! And our guarantee? The Holy Spirit who already lives in us. - Dennis De Haan
When You Receive Christ, You Become A Stockholder In The Riches Of Heaven

Rejoice because your debt is paid,
For all your sins on Christ were laid;
You are an heir, you're justified -
And all because the Savior died. - D. De Haan
