The Doctrine Of Ownership. Part [16] 02/16/2025 (Morning thought)

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Isaiah 65: 21 And they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.

[Christ Triumphant pp 80, Par 2] God promised to Abraham, and his seed after him, that they should have possessions and lands, and yet they were only strangers and sojourners. The inheritance and lands that are to be given not only to Abraham but to the children of Abraham will not be until after this earth is purified. Abraham will then receive the title to his farm, his possessions. And the children of Abraham will have a title to their possessions. Every one of us should constantly bear in mind that this earth is not our dwelling place, but that we are to have an inheritance in the earth made new.

We are pilgrim/stewards, passing through this world and heading to eternity, and as such, all arguments, and fights over the temporal things of life are to be held in check. Even when it comes time to surrender what we have, because of the beast system, we are not to fly into a rage, because it’s not worth fighting for, since it all belongs to God.

Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Doctrine Of Ownership. Part [15] 02/16/2025 (Evening thought)

Daniel 7: 18 But the saints of the Most-High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even for ever and ever.

The cross of Christ opens up the gates of eternity, with all of its riches to those who are found faithful, and from studying the Scriptures, it becomes clear that the saints will finally be granted permanent ownership of things God will give to us. Thus, the charge that The Master is “a hard man” is categorically false, and it shows that the steward does not really believe in God’s promise of a new earth. His focus is centered squarely in the here and now alone.

[Christ’s Object Lessons] There are many who in their hearts charge God with being a hard master because He claims their possessions and their service. But we can bring to God nothing that is not already His. All things are God's, not only by creation, but by redemption. All the blessings of this life and of the life to come are delivered to us stamped with the cross of Calvary. Therefore, the charge that God is a hard master, reaping where He has not sown, is false.

Just for the record, there are some truths which we will need to certify from the Scriptures as it pertains to stewardship, because the talents given by God to the stewards were for practice purposes, to prepare them for the future kingdom, in which He will give us a permanent inheritance, and where the faithful are scheduled to finally become owners.

Matthew 7: 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
