Heirs of God by Pastor George Pearsons To begin with, I must share an amazing quote from an article written several years ago by Gloria Copeland, titled Receive Your Inheritance. She wrote: Have you ever been invited to an attorney’s office for the reading of a will? I haven’t. Where I come from, there was never enough money left for the relatives to fight over when someone died. Most of the people I knew didn’t leave wills—they left bills. But, glory to God, that’s not the case anymore. I became heir to a fortune more than 50 years ago in Little Rock, Ark., when I gave my life to Jesus. At that moment, I was born again into the richest family ever known. I was born into the royal family that owns and operates the universe. I received an inheritance so vast it will take me all of eternity to fully comprehend it. Our inheritance in Christ is massive. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to lift our inner image and renew our minds to being ‛heirs of God.’ By Right of Royal Birth A few months ago, the world was focused on London, England, where a royal birth was about to take place. The time came for the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (aka William and Kate), to be born. The media were there waiting to deliver the royal announcement. Then, the moment came—Prince George was born. There is something different about this baby. He is heir to the throne as the king of England. His inheritance must be stunning. But, think about this: He did not have to do anything to qualify for his inheritance other than be born into this family. He received his inheritance simply by right of royal birth. Prince George was born into a royal family. But you and I have been born again into THE royal family! Galatians 4:6-7 tells us, “Because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” That sonship, through the new birth, qualifies us for an inheritance so vast it will take all of eternity to fully comprehend it. As 1 Peter 1:3-4, New International Version, says, “He has given us new birth...into an inheritance.” Joint Heirs With Jesus Take a look at Romans 8:16-17: “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.” A joint heir is one who is in union together with an inheritor. To be a joint heir with Jesus is an astounding thought. 8 : BVOV : DEC '13
