Who you are in Christ.#18

One of my favorites of who I am in Christ:

Romans 8:17 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 together.

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Ephesians 3:6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

Titus 3:7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

James 2:5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

If you are a follower we are joint heirs with Jesus of the Kingdom of Heaven!!!! If that don’t make you want to shout nothing will! Do you comprehend that? Do you understand what an heir is? Look at the definition: a person who inherits or has a right of inheritance in the property of another following the latter's death. Being an heir with Jesus is a little different than this definition because Jesus died but He was resurrected but His death enabled us to become heirs with Him in heaven! Thank you Lord Jesus, we thank you!

So take some time this morning to think on being a joint heir with Jesus in the Kingdom of heaven this morning. I am pretty sure our minds can not comprehend what all that means!!
