"And giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1:12 NIV
God wants you to know that you have been "qualified". Qualified is a welcomed word for anyone who strives to reach a definite goal in any area of life (athletics, employment, academics etc.). How infinitely more thrilling to be declared “qualified” for an eternal home in Heaven. The word qualified in the verse above means to be certified, proved, empowered and commissioned. God in His ever loving mercy has certified you a bona-fide citizen of Heaven. You have been qualified and not disqualified.
This qualification is not on the Basis of any Inherent goodness, effort or ability of our own, not on the basis of any earthly status we might have attained, not hard work, age, strength or acquired estate but qualified only on the basis of our redemptive experience in Christ Jesus. Be thankful to the Father, knowing that you are qualified for the inheritance; let your light so shine before men. History will hear & know of you.
Further Scripture Study: Ephesians 2:8-9, 19; Psalms 68:19
Declare This: Dear Father I appreciate You, You love me so much and You qualified me a bona-fide citizen and partaker of the inheritance in Your kingdom in Jesus name Amen.
