Which pair of verses is listed as defining our heritage?

• A. Jeremiah 17:4, Ecclesiasticus 17:11
• B. Psalms 23:1, Psalms 24:1
• C. Genesis 1:1, John 1:1
• D. Romans 8:28, Romans 12:2

Answer: (A)

Heritage is the divine inheritance God distributes to His people—something that defines who they are and shapes their future as part of His covenant. In the Jeremiah passage, the idea is stressed by showing what happens when that heritage is neglected or rejected: the people are warned they will discontinue from the heritage God gave them, a consequence tied to turning away from Him. In Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 17:11, the text emphasizes that the Lord assigns each person a portion, a personal inheritance that comes from Him rather than from human effort. Together, these verses portray heritage as a gift from God that establishes identity and blessing, while also carrying a responsibility to remain faithful so that that divine portion remains with us.
