Heir of All Things

From creation to redemption to inheritance, Scripture declares that everything belongs to Christ, and astonishingly, God invites us to share in it. Through Hebrews 1 and Revelation 5, we see Jesus not only as the Owner of all things, but the One who is worthy of all things and the One who graciously shares all things with His people.

Key Takeaways

He Owns All Things Everything belongs to Jesus—material and immaterial, seen and unseen. He created all things, sustains all things, saves all things, and reigns supreme over all things. Nothing truly belongs to us; everything already bears His name.
He Deserves All Things In heaven’s courtroom, only one was found worthy. Jesus alone—because of His obedience, sacrifice, and blood—deserves our worship, trust, faith, surrender, and offering. He is not handed a participation trophy; He is crowned because He is worthy.
He Shares All Things Here’s the miracle: Christ doesn’t hoard His inheritance—He shares it. Through grace, we are written into the will. As children of God, we are heirs with Christ, receiving His family, His Kingdom, and His glory—not because we earned it, but because He chose us.

Surrender your life to Jesus, and discover the joy of living as an heir in His Kingdom.

Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” 6 Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth. 7 He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. 8 And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.”
