1. We have received a like precious faith. When we believed in the Lord Jesus, God granted us a portion of the land — Christ. This portion is like the dry land that appeared on the third day, and we have received a portion of it. One brother’s or sister’s portion is as precious as another’s (2 Peter 1:1).
2. We all received an equally precious portion. This doesn’t necessarily mean they are all the same size, but they have the same value. We need to abandon the “woe is me” syndrome. We have received land of equal value! Now, all we need to do is work it: immerse ourselves in the Word, practice it by preaching the gospel, and caring for people. Let’s value the land we have received and distribute its food, leading others to bear fruit (2 Peter 1:1, 6). 3-11; Mt 24:45-47).
3. The same land was given to all of us, but one can fail to take advantage of its richness. This happens when we hear the Word without accompanying it with faith, without believing with simplicity. Our teenagers have given us a lesson in simplicity—they deeply benefit from the Word because of the simplicity with which they receive it and the love they have for it (Heb. 4:2).
4. “Christ, as a descendant of Abraham, shed His blood on the cross and purchased us for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and has made us a kingdom and priests, so that we are destined to reign on the earth. Thus, we fulfill the purpose for which man was created: to subdue and have dominion over the earth. This was in God’s promise to Abraham” (Gen. 1:28; Rev. 5:9-10) (Daily Food, book 3, week 3, Thursday, pp. 48-49).
