Matthew 25:34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the earth."
THE DESTINATION OF THE NOT GUILTY
On the Last Day the Lord will fulfill His will since before time began--He will gather the elect to be with Him forever. God in love created human beings with the intent that they would be with Him. When sin entered the world it caused a great rift. The separation was repaired by Jesus in His death and resurrection. In the final Judgment, believers will see and experience in a new way the blessings of their reconciliation to God.
It is on that day when the children of God receive their inheritance. An inheritance is obviously a gift. The inheritance of everlasting life is such a precious gift there is no way it could be anything other than a gift. It cannot be bought or earned.
In the heavenly courtroom of Judgment Day, believers do not merely avoid the condemnation of hell. That would be plenty to dream of in itself. The destination of the not guilty is a paradise so good it is unimaginable to our limited thought process. Look forward to such a heavenly inheritance in Christ!
