Giving thanks unto the Father, who has made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:12 Go To Colossians 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
But why does he call it an inheritance (or lot)? To show that by his own achievements no one obtains the kingdom, but as a lot is rather the result of good luck, so in truth it is the same principle here. For no one leads a life so good as to be counted worthy of the kingdom, but the whole is his free gift.
