Galatians 4:6–7 - And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Perhaps these questions have been popping up in your head: “If You are a Christian, why are you sick? If your heavenly Father is so wonderful, why do you have so many problems? Doesn’t your God help you, His child?”
And if you have been tempted to ask, “God, I am Your child. Why is this happening to me?” know that Jesus knows exactly how you feel because 2,000 years ago, the devil played the same trick on Him by asking —“If you are the Son of God…” (Mt 4:3). The devil’s intention was to make Jesus doubt His Son-ship, and the devil wants to do the same thing to us today. Learn to tell the devil – “It is written…” (Mt 4:4)
He wants to destroy the Spirit of son-ship in you. He knows that once you really believe that you are a child of God, something happens—you begin to live life as “an heir of God through Christ”… we are joint heirs with Jesus (Rom 8:17)
As a child and an heir of God, you inherit all the blessings of God which Jesus died to give you, including salvation, healing, provision, wholeness, favour, intimacy with God and answered prayers. Just enjoy every bit of your inheritance in Christ, not because you deserve or earn it, but because it was paid for by the blood of Jesus!
Thought for the day!
As joint heirs with Christ, His inheritance is our inheritance too!
