Co-heir with Christ

Remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands—that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. (Eph 2:11-12)

God said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob... " (Exo 3:15) God was the God of Israel and His covenants of promise were meant for Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his seed whom by nature birth were Jews. Gentiles were without hope.

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both (the Jews and the Gentiles) into one (the Church), and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. (Eph 2:13-16) In Christ we are made co-heirs with Him and so heirs of Abraham to enjoy the covenants of promise. Blessed be our Father for Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! Truly without Him we have no life. Hear Him!
