PROMISE #300 - OCTOBER 27
Promise #300:
Jesus is happy to share His inheritance with you.
Romans 8:16-17 (WEB)
16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God;
17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ;
if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible! I share it often when I speak at churches, and I love to talk about the implications of what the Apostle Paul was saying when he wrote these words under the influence of the Holy Spirit. It says that we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.
Have you ever thought about what it means to be a joint heir with Jesus? From my limited understanding of Scripture, it means that whatever Jesus has through inheritance has become ours through the same inheritance.
It amazes me to think that Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father, the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, is pleased to share the richness of His Father's inheritance with me! I am an heir of God and a joint heir with my elder brother Jesus... and so are you if you have received Christ as your Savior.
May the weightiness of this revelation settle upon each of us today as we ponder the amazing life-changing truth that Jesus is happy to share the vastness of His inheritance with us because we are children of God and joint heirs with Him! May the Holy Spirit bear witness with our spirits today and make this truth a reality for each of us.
