Best things to inherit - #5

Salvation.  "Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?" -  Hebrews 1:14 (ESV)
This reminds me of Super Mario Brothers when someone gets that star thingy or whatever that makes them invincible and not die.  The Super Mario Version runs out, but inheriting salvation is worth so much more than any amount of money or property ever could.  For one, those who receive a large inheritance of money, say someone named John D. Rockefeller the 51st (He doesn't exist yet but he could).  He does not inherit salvation based on his great great whatever grandfather, because the Rockefleer's like all humans, die.  

Salvation.  That is what we need to inherit, and what we want our children to understand they can inherit, too.  Not that we pass it on to them, but that our heavenly Father passes it to all of us who will receive it.  
Salvation from what?  Sin, death, the devil.  Salvation from all that is evil and wrong.  

So if you are broke and cannot leave anything to your children, you can leave what has been passed on to us all that is worth far more than diamonds or gold or land or money.

Salvation, what an inheritance we have!
