Our inheritance
The apostle Peter writes,
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 1Peter 1:3-5.
As believers in Christ Jesus we truly believe what Peter is saying here. Through our belief in Christ Jesus we have an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
Earthly powers over the centuries have tried to force believers in Christ to recant their faith. They have destroyed church buildings and killed millions of believers all to no avail.
Earthly powers cannot destroy what is in heaven. Thus we can say with the Psalmist,
Please think about it.

whose hope is in the LORD his God,
the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
the LORD, who remains faithful forever.
Psalm 146:5,6
