Mateus 19

Mateus 19

Utley - "Material blessings are not the experience of all godly believers, but the joy and abundance of the larger Christian family experiences are!" THE ULTIMATE INHERITANCE! And will inherit eternal life - Inherit reflects God's gift, just as an inheritance is not earned but is given as a gift. Eternal life is what the rich young ruler asked about—life with God, God’s kind of life, life in Christ (now and then - Col 3:4+). "Then the redeemed will share life in its highest sense through the ages without interruption." (Hiebert) While Jesus is clearly describing the believer's future home in the age to come, it is true that even in this present (evil) age (Gal 1:4+) believers are abundantly blessed (even though it does not always "feel" like we are being blessed!).
