Romans 8:16–17 - it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ…
When you are born of the Spirit, you are no longer a “slave”, but a child of the Most High God. And God does not just call you His child. He also calls you “an heir” (Gal 4:7). In fact, Romans 8:17 says, that you are “joint heirs” with Christ.
As a joint heir with Christ Jesus, you inherit everything that He has. How precious Jesus is to the Father, is how precious you are to the Father. The way the Father loves Jesus, is the way the Father loves you!
How accepted are you by God today? Look at Jesus. That is how accepted you are! Christ is the measure of your acceptance. How favoured are you by God? Look at Jesus, who is seated at the Father’s right hand. You enjoy that same favour today because whatever Christ enjoys, you enjoy!
All that belongs to Him belongs to you. That is why it is in your interest to know Him more, to see Him in all His glory and beauty. And because Jesus is so glorious, it will take you a lifetime to discover everything that He has done for you and has for you.
Thought for the day!
You are an heir of the Most High God. You are a joint heir with Christ Jesus. So find out all the blessings that your rich inheritance includes (you’ll find these in the “Last Will” - the Bible!) and start walking in them today!
