How are we part of God's inheritance?
In what ways can we see ourselves as part of God's inheritance?

Psalm 106:5: “that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, rejoice in the joy of Your nation, and share in the glory of Your inheritance.”

Seeing Ourselves as His Chosen Ones

- Deuteronomy 32:9: “For the LORD’s portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.”

- Ephesians 1:4–5: He “chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.”

- Through faith in Christ we are grafted into that people (Romans 11:17–18) and counted among “the prosperity of [His] chosen ones.”

Rejoicing in the Joy of His Nation

- 1 Peter 2:9: believers are “a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.”

- Hebrews 12:28: we “receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken.”

- Our story joins the larger story of redemption; every victory of God’s people is ours to celebrate.

Sharing the Glory of His Inheritance

- Romans 8:17: “And if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.”

- John 17:22: Jesus has given us the glory the Father gave Him.

- Ephesians 1:18: “the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints.” God counts His redeemed people as the treasure that displays His glory.

Present Experience, Future Fulfillment

- Now: indwelling Spirit, answered prayer, righteousness-peace-joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).

- Yet to come: “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:4).

Living Like Heirs Today

• Cultivate gratitude—heirs cherish the Father’s gifts (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

• Pursue holiness—heirs bear the family likeness (1 John 3:2-3).

• Invest in kingdom work—heirs steward family assets (Matthew 6:19-21).

• Encourage one another—heirs rejoice together (Hebrews 10:24-25).

Psalm 106:5 is not wishful thinking but a settled reality in Christ: we are the Lord’s inheritance, and He is ours forever.

How can we implement the joy of God's people in our community?
