The term is often used to describe one's position or condition in life, whether it be material wealth, social standing, or spiritual state. Material Estate The Bible frequently addresses the management and distribution of material estates. In the Old Testament, the division of land and property was a significant aspect of Israelite society. The Promised Land was divided among the tribes of Israel, and each family received an inheritance (Joshua 13-21). This inheritance was meant to be preserved within the family, as seen in the laws regarding the Year of Jubilee, where land was to be returned to its original owners (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>). Proverbs often speaks to the wise management of one's estate, emphasizing diligence and stewardship. <a href="/proverbs/27-23.htm">Proverbs 27:23-24</a> advises, "Be sure to know the state of your flocks, and pay close attention to your herds; for riches are not forever, nor does a crown endure to every generation." This highlights the transient nature of material wealth and the importance of careful management. Social Estate The Bible also addresses the social estate, or one's position and status within society. The New Testament teaches that social distinctions should not divide the body of Christ. In <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a> , Paul writes, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This verse underscores the equality of all believers, regardless of their social estate. James warns against favoritism based on social status, urging believers to treat all people with equal respect and love. <a href="/james/2.htm">James 2:1-4</a> states, "My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you lavish attention on the man in fine clothes and say, 'Here is a seat of honor,' but say to the poor man, 'You must stand,' or, 'Sit at my feet,' have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?" Spiritual Estate The spiritual estate of an individual is of utmost importance in Scripture. The Bible teaches that one's spiritual condition before God is paramount, transcending material and social estates. Jesus emphasized the value of spiritual wealth over material wealth in <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-21</a> : "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." The parable of the rich fool in <a href="/luke/12-16.htm">Luke 12:16-21</a> further illustrates the folly of prioritizing material estate over spiritual estate. The rich man, who stored up earthly wealth without regard for his spiritual condition, is called a fool by God, who demands his life that very night. Inheritance and Legacy The concept of inheritance is closely tied to the idea of estate in the Bible. A righteous legacy is highly valued, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/13-22.htm">Proverbs 13:22</a> : "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is passed to the righteous." This verse highlights the importance of leaving a godly legacy, both materially and spiritually. In the New Testament, believers are described as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>). This spiritual inheritance is imperishable and eternal, contrasting with the temporary nature of earthly estates. In summary, the biblical concept of estate encompasses material wealth, social status, and spiritual condition. Scripture provides guidance on the wise management of material estates, the equality of social estates within the body of Christ, and the supreme importance of one's spiritual estate before God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
