- Our Immense Inheritance
- Romans 8:17—"And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him." Paul sets before us a golden ladder, and from every step he climbs to something yet higher: from sonship he rises to heirship, and from heirship to joint-heirship with the Lord Jesus. OUR INHERITANCE IS IMMENSE "HEIRS OF GOD." Our inheritance is divinely great. We are: * Heirs of all things. "The one who conquers will have this heritage" (Rev. 21:7). "For all things are yours'' (1 Cor. 3:21). * Heirs of salvation (Heb. 1:14). * Heirs of eternal life (Titus 3:7). * Heirs of promise (Heb. 6:17). * Heirs of the grace of life (1 Pet. 3:7). * Heirs of righteousness (Heb. 11:7). * Heirs of the kingdom (James 2:5). Since we are said to be "heirs of God," it must mean that we are: 1. Heirs of all that God possesses. 2. Heirs of all that God is: of his love, for God is love. Hence, heirs of all possible good, for God is good. 3. Heirs of God himself. What an infinite portion! 4. Heirs of all that Jesus has and is as God and man.
