Rather it is God who gives his children the power or ability and gifting to produce wealth. It is this accrued wealth under the stewardship of the elect which has a specific divine purpose in God's economy, chiefly, to establish his covenant in the earth. It is through these divinely chartered means that covenantal dominion is effected in the earth. For the remainder of this article I will focus my attention on the biblical idea of inheritance leaving the concepts of work and investment for another time. For I believe our attitude toward inheritance is foundational in forming a right and biblical view of work and investment.
Nothing is more despised by American society at large than the concept of inheritance.
Class envy has allowed statist, socialistic elitists in our bloated federal and state bureaucracies, to attack inheritance through tyrannical estate taxes, which in some cases are so oppressive, the transfer of wealth from one generation to the next is nearly impossible. But the most insidious and heinous attack upon the principle of inheritance is through the wholesale slaughter of innocent children through state sanctioned, state sponsored murder called abortion. It is imperative that the church understand that any attack upon inheritance, is an attack upon the future. Specifically, the establishment and future dominance of Christ's Crown and Covenant in the earth. In Principle Once the concept of covenantal inheritance is understood it becomes apparent why the statist left wants to undermine its power.
