“And if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with him.” (Romans 8:17)
To be an heir of God is to be an heir of all things. There is no place in the universe that falls outside your inheritance.
Those who see themselves as servants instead of sons have trouble receiving from God. Like the elder brother in the parable, they’re working like slaves and they expect God to reward them for their faithful service. They don’t hear the Father say “Everything I have is yours” (Luke 15:31).
Not *will be* yours but *is yours*.
If we knew how rich we are in God, we would stop slaving for wages and asking for skinny goats. Instead, we would thank God for every blessing and privilege that is ours in Christ.
And then we would tell others the good news so that they too could join the party.
