Inheritance

Inheritance: Heb. 1:2-4, ...in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.   

Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, and as the victor in the spiritual conflict, is the heir of all things. 

Inheritance is based on sonship:

John 1:12,  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

Rom. 8:16,17,  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him.

To inherit from God, a person must possess the life of God, that is, salvation resulting in eternal life.

Salvation is the qualification for inheriting from God.  Col. 1:9-14

We have an inheritance because we share the destiny of Christ.  The true doctrine of predestination is that we share Christ's destiny.
