Inheritance Divided, Grace Multiplied in Christ
What to notice today
As Joshua distributed the promised land among the twelve tribes, each receiving their inheritance (Joshua 13-15), Paul reveals to the Ephesians that believers have received an even greater inheritance in Christ—blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms. The physical division of Canaan prefigures our spiritual position in Christ, where we are chosen, redeemed, and sealed with the Holy Spirit as a down payment of our eternal inheritance.
