Ephesians 1:18
18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints
In this chapter of the Bible, Paul speaks a couple times of the idea of inheritance. Here we learn that we can know this hope and the glorious inheritance that Jesus freely offers. But, he is not referring to financial gain. Have you ever thought about a spiritual inheritance or where that would even come from?
Before we can comprehend that we have a spiritual inheritance we must have our heart changed. It is referred to here as having the eyes of your heart enlightened. That is such beautiful imagery to show how our heart can be changed to rightly see the beauty and glory of Jesus. Trusting in Him leads to an eternal and unfading inheritance.
