Inherit Salvation and Participate in the Eternal Blessing of New Jerusalem

Revelation 21:12 tells us that at the gates of the holy city there are twelve angels. In God’s eternal economy, angels are ministering spirits (Heb. 1:14) rendering service to those who inherit salvation and participate in the eternal blessing of the New Jerusalem, the center of the new heaven and new earth. The angels will be the gatekeepers of our possession, while we will be the ones enjoying the rich inheritance in God’s eternal economy.*

Hebrews 1:14 says, “Are they [the angels] not all ministering spirits, sent forth for service for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?” The angels are serving mainly to bring us toward and into New Jerusalem.

Hebrews 1:14 speaks of us as “those who are to inherit salvation.” We already have eternal salvation and it is secure forever. No one can take us out of the Lord’s hand (John 10:28). Yet, there is more of the unsearchable riches of Christ for us to experience and enjoy now, and there will be much more in New Jerusalem. This is the further salvation we will inherit when we are in the full manifestation of the city.
