And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

 Builds you up and gives you the inheritance:  

 

Acts 20:32

32 “And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

 

            He doesn’t give us His Word to tear us down, but rather to build us up. He wants strong, confident believers, not whipped and defeated ones. When we are built up in His Word, We can confidently access our inheritance in this life. We don’t have to wait till we die … we won’t need it so much then.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You will not succeed apart from My Word. It is My Word that will bring about victory and peace for you. You cannot fail when you walk in My Word; for it is My Word that brings peace and prosperity. You will be more than conquerors when you walk in My Word. It will make you stand firm in the times of distress. You will not soon be shaken if you stay strong in My Word; for apart from it you cannot succeed.”

 

            50. The Word of His grace builds me up and gives me the inheritance among all of us who are sanctified.

 

            We can trust God’s Word to tell us the truth about our destiny. However, we won’t know what our destiny is unless we read His Word to find out what is supposed to be operating in our lives.
