How can we apply the concept of inheritance from Joshua 15:22 today? Setting the Scene “Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah” (Joshua 15:22). Three small towns, yet they stand as concrete evidence that the tribe of Judah really received land—God’s promise made visible, survey-marked, and deeded. Core Truths About Inheritance in Joshua 15 • Promise kept: the allotment fulfills God’s oath to Abraham (Genesis 15:18-21). • Specific and personal: every clan gets named territory; God is not vague. • Grace before merit: the land is given, not earned (Numbers 26:55). • Permanent boundaries: divine lines protect and define God’s people (Psalm 16:5-6). Our Spiritual Inheritance in Christ • Heirs of God, co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). • Imperishable, undefiled, unfading, kept in heaven (1 Peter 1:3-4). • Guaranteed now by the Holy Spirit, “the pledge of our inheritance” (Ephesians 1:13-14). • Includes every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3) and the coming kingdom (2 Timothy 4:18). Living as Present-Day Heirs • Receive identity: think and act as children, not orphans. • Honor boundaries: choose holiness that matches kingdom citizenship (1 Peter 1:15-16). • Steward resources: time, talents, finances, and the gospel itself are trust funds to manage (1 Corinthians 4:2). • Walk in expectancy: today’s obedience anticipates tomorrow’s full possession (Colossians 3:24). Guarding and Passing On the Inheritance • Teach God’s words diligently to the next generation (Deuteronomy 6:6-9). • Model faith that endures trials, showing the worth of the imperishable hope (James 1:12). • Hold Scripture as the title-deed guaranteeing what is yet unseen (Hebrews 11:1). Encouragement for Daily Life • God knows your exact “Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah”—the tailored places and callings He has assigned. • Spiritual blessings already belong to you; lay hold of them in prayer, obedience, and praise. • The final distribution is secure; live today with the calm confidence of an heir awaiting the family homecoming. |
