No sin, no sinner, no devil! – Thomas Brooks

“An undefiled inheritance.” 1 Peter 1:4

There are few earthly inheritances but some defilement or other sticks close to them. Many times they are gotten by fraud, oppression, violence, injustice, etc. And as they are often wickedly gotten so they are as often wickedly kept!

The heavenly inheritance is the only undefiled inheritance. No sin, no sinner, no devil can enter to defile or pollute the heavenly inheritance, the incorruptible crown. The Greek word signifies a precious stone, which though it be ever so much soiled yet it cannot be blemished nor defiled. Yes, the oftener you cast it into the fire and take it out the more clear, bright, and shining it is!

No unclean thing shall enter into heaven to defile this crown, this inheritance! The serpent got into the earthly paradise, and defiled Adam’s crown yes, he robbed him of his crown! But the subtle serpent can never enter into the heavenly paradise!

Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” Revelation 21:27
