The Remnant of His Heritage

 July 17, 2023- Morning Bible Reading and Meditation- Micah 7 KJV

“[18] Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. “

Words to ponder: 

The Remnant of His Heritage

It is such a great blessing to be among  GOD’s heritage. 

For it cannot be acquired by birth, by belief, most precisely by becoming a better person, or doing good works. 

Nothing in this earth is able to usher us to become GOD’s heritage; or in simple term: heir. 

Most religion have made their own ways; forcefully injected to the frail human mind and consciousness their make-beliefs such as, sacraments, laws and long list of religious practices. 

But the question is, are these or any of these acceptable to GOD: the One who has the say or upper hand to choose to whom He will give His inheritance to? 

And that is our edge among others; we hold in our hand the most reliant way of becoming one among GOD’s Heritage; which is through kinship. 

We did not belong to GOD’s chosen people; the descendants of Jacob: whom now is the nation Israel. But we are holding into our hands the “blueprint”; the concrete plan of GOD on how to become joint heirs with His beloved children; particularly His very Own Only Beloved Begotten Son JESUS CHRIST. From whom we received the free gift of kinship; and by attaining to become  among His kindred, we must have been and done the following: 

1. We have Accepted Him: John 1:12 KJV

[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Galatians 3:26-29 KJV

[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 

[27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

[28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 

[29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

2. We have Believed that He is the gift  from GOD to us; and that He is the only way, truth and life, for everyone whose desire is to come and dwell with GOD for eternity: John 3:16 KJV

[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Acts 16:31 KJV

[31] And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

John 14:6 KJV

[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

3. We keep on Calling to GOD in His Name. Romans 10:9,12-13 KJV

[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

4. We are Delivered from the penalty of sin. Romans 6:3-6,14,17-18 KJV

[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 

[4] Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 

[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 

[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 

[14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 

[17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 

[18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

“[19] He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. [20] Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.”

5. We have Entered into GOD’s rest and Enjoy the sweet fellowship as joint-heirs with The LORD, helped by the HOLY SPIRIT. Hebrews 4:3,8-11 KJV

[3] For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 

[8] For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 

[9] There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 

[10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

 [11] Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

We are among the remnants of GOD’s heritage through JESUS CHRIST. 

He casted our sin into the deepest part of the sea and it will not  be remembered no more. 

Thank be unto GOD and our Loving LORD and Savior.

To Him be glory forever more!

Good morning!

Micah 7:1-20 KJV

[1] Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. [2] The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. [3] That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. [4] The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. [5] Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. [6] For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. [7] Therefore I will look unto the Lord ; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. [8] Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me. [9] I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. [10] Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. [11] In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed. [12] In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain. [13] Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings. [14] Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. [15] According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. [16] The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf. [17] They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee. [18] Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. [19] He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. [20] Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
