Heirs of God

Rom 8:17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Rom 8:18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Truth.

Heirs!  Maybe you don't have any inheritance here and now from parents or any other relatives but you can have the greatest  inheritance that exists.  A heavenly inheritance. Christ received the inheritance upon His death and after three days in the tomb. He was given eternal life, never to die again. We too will receive this same inheritance when our Savior returns and the last trump is sounded.

This is truth!

The Bible is filled with prophecy.

Our history is filled with prophesies fulfilled.

All the Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled, NOTHING can stop them.

We think because a lot of time has passed that the prophecies will not come true.

Did God's people under the Egyptians rule believe this as well?  Most likely some did. They were slaves for over 400 years.  And the Jewish people taken captive at Babylon, they had a 70 year prophecy.  And the prophecy for the Messiah was made many centuries before it came to pass. We tend to think that logic overrules prophecy simply because we don't see it fulfilled. We have so MANY fulfilled prophecies in our past history we'd be FOOLS to believe the future, as yet unfulfilled prophecies, will not come to pass.  We remain fools though because we want the prophecies fulfilled in our time, not God's time.

Those who live as prophecies are being fulfilled tend to not notice what's happening. It isn't until they look back they see. 

The biggest problem with this for those who are living in the last days, is they won't have any time to look back.

When time is over- BEFORE the last trump is sounded, all will be decided.

We have to look in our current history to see what is taking place leading up to the very last prophecies being fulfilled.

We do have an inheritance. We are heirs with Christ. We will SUFFER with Christ. We will suffer under spiritual warfare as never before. And ALL our suffering is nothing compared to the GLORY that WILL be revealed in us.  We do have hope, NOT HERE AND NOW, not for our LIVES here and now, but for the FUTURE, for the inheritance!

We are  heirs with Christ because we are CHILDREN of GOD.

Please Father in heaven we would be your children, we choose to be Your children.  By Your grace and mercy, by Your love, all through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!

Amen.
