2:5 – and heirs of the kingdom, which He promised to those who love Him?
2:5. and heirs of the kingdom, which He promised to those who love Him? – God’s kingdom is the reward and promise to those who love Him. No matter what social standing a person may have achieved in his earthly life or what riches he has accumulated, if his heart is not loving God then he has no promised inheritance.
heirs of the kingdom – No longer should a person, who is a Christian, be striving for earthly possessions and status. Instead they are to learn and take comfort in the fact that Christ has prepared for them a Kingdom that is everlasting and theirs by a holy salvation. This kingdom is one that comes by the way of the Cross. This kingdom embraces all creeds, languages and ages of this present world. It is filled with those who have humbled themselves before the Father, listened to the wooing of the Spirit and accepted Christ for themselves. They are truly the ones who are ‘rich in faith.’
