Are all believers going to be equal in heaven? Wasn't it all decided
at
the cross? Is there a difference between overcoming sin and bearing
fruit?
Inheritance came to the Firstborn Son by virtue of his birth. Whether
he
actually secured it depended upon his obedience and the father's
choice.
Inheritance was subject to condition and obedience. The Abrahamic
Inheritance was based on Divine Oath, conditioned on obedience.
Inheritances could be forfeited. The Exodus Generation was promised an
inheritance, but failed to obtain it at Kadesh -Barnea. Israel was
God's
'firstborn son', yet only 2 people of over 2 million took possession
of
their inheritance. Even Moses was excluded due to his disobedience.
Esau
sold his inheritance for a bowl of pottage.
We have been promised an inheritance in the Kingdom to come. But is
there more that is required of us than just our acceptance? Does
behavior in this life really influence our future?
