Hi there.

It's a pretty large question.

Suffice to say that there are two levels of response to the question.

Those who believe in Jesus Christ are granted certain rights and privileges in this world. This is part of their inheritance. In fact, they are only a taste of their true inheritance.

In the world to come, this inheritance is brought to fullness.

In short, our inheritance is God Himself. In this world, that means His special protection, forgiveness, special provision, and companionship and friendship. That means that although God protects all human beings from wanton destruction by Satan, He is particular about believers in Jesus Christ: Satan may not touch them at all without His leave. Unbelievers, on the other hand, may not be killed or otherwise crippled in their free will, but they may be "played with" by Satan in a way that he cannot with believers.

It also means that believers are forgiven by God whereas unbelievers are His enemies. If a believer sins against God and confesses and repents, the Lord generously and justly forgives Him. This does not apply to unbelievers since they are alienated from God in the first place.

Again, although God provides all things for all creatures including unbelievers, believers are specially provided for in all things. The Lord provides for them even when material circumstances should make such provision impossible.

Also, one big reason that unbelievers are so unhappy in this world even in the midst of their pleasure-seeking is that they are lonely in their hearts. We believers have God's friendship and companionship in all of our travails in this world. We are never alone, even when there is no human being with us.

In the world to come, we will be with God forever. We will never again be separated from Him. We will never be sinners again. We will never suffer anything again. We will only ever know pleasure, joy, happiness forever. We will live in a community of men and angels where we are perfectly at peace forever. We will live in a perfect universe devoid of anything that hurts or causes harm. Depending on our diligence in walking with God in this world, we may be ranked very highly in that world to come too. And all of this is barely scratching the surface of our inheritance.

Cheers.

1) Eternal Life that is, Living Forever with no dying at all which was first ruined by Adam, then us when when we loved evil 98% more than Good, therefore God withdrew even more Life from us. " My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."

We suffered Loss of Life, But if we do what Christ has told and taught us, we would get them back!

2) Eternal Life Of Unending Goodness! Since man loved evil, he planted evil and therefore evil fills the earth and he harvests evil and it is the job of evil to Terminate LIfe!

And now evil has filled the earth upto irreparable states, so now it must be destroyed and the lovers and farmers of it too must be and will be Permanently Removed so that those who did no evil can have their world back, clean and cleared from all evil farmers and lovers.

Thus, Christ is the Space Ship that removes us from this evil world, holding us until a new Clean and Good House (World) is Rebuilt for us to be returned into the Good Good World Again, as Adam first Experienced in Eden!

So this is the summary of our Inheritance in and Through Christ Jesus!

What can a fictional character offer?..just like saying what my inheritance in superman or Thor. I love them. I used to draw comics of them in primary school..

But now I know where they belong in the scheme of things..
