WHAT WE HAVE IN THE WILL

To me, though I am the very least
of all the saints (God’s consecrated
people), this grace (favor, privilege) was
granted and graciously entrusted: to
proclaim to the Gentiles the unending
(boundless, fathomless, incalculable,
and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth
which no human being could have
searched out] (Ephesians 3:8 AMPC).

In Hebrews 9:16, the Bible says, “For where a
testament is, there must also of necessity be
the death of the testator.” The word that’s translated
“testament” in that verse is the Greek “diatheljkelj” and
it means the last disposition, the last will. The 17th
verse says, “For a testament is of force after men are
dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the
testator liveth.”
It’s saying that as long as the person who made the
will is alive, the will has no power; it can’t be effected.
But once he’s dead, the will comes into effect. This
is telling us about Jesus, the mediator of the New
Testament (the new will). So, the question is, what’s
in the will that Jesus left for us? What did He assign to
us? What did He give us?
He gave us everything that was His; everything,
including His life! If a man writes in his will and says,
“I’ve given you everything I have,” it’ll be wise to find
out what he had. In our theme verse, Paul the Apostle,
by the revelation of the Spirit, gives a description of

what he was sent to preach about this last disposition,
which is the description of the wealth of Jesus that
He bequeathed to us—what we have in the will! He
called it “...boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and
exhaustless riches of Christ [wealth which no human
being could have searched out].” How refreshing!
In Colossians 1:12, the Bible says, “Giving thanks
unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be
partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.”
Thus, the Father has qualified us to be partakers of the
riches of Christ.
How do you walk in it? It’s through the Word. As
you study and meditate on the Word, not only will
you discover your inheritance in Christ, you’ll also
begin to relate with and enjoy all that God has made
available to you in Christ Jesus. Acts 20:32 says, “And
now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and
to give you an inheritance among all them which are
sanctified.” Glory to God!
