Which passage is listed for defining the heritage?

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

Answer: (A)

Heritage in this context means the inheritance or blessings God grants to His people. The passages that define it directly address that idea: one uses the word and speaks of what God gives or preserves for His covenant people, and the other reinforces that God bestows an inheritance on those who seek and fear Him. The other options focus on different themes—comfort and guidance in Psalms, creation in Genesis and John, or God’s purpose and transformation in Romans—without defining heritage. Therefore, the passages that define heritage are Jeremiah 17:4 and Ecclesiasticus 17:11.
