Heirs of God
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.
Romans 8:17 KJV
Because we are God’s children, we are heirs — “heirs
of God.” A heir is a person legally entitled to the property or rank of another
higher or greater person. A heir legally has the right to continue the work of
a predecessor.
As God’s children, we will share in His Heavenly
treasures-for all God gives to His Son Jesus Christ is now ours too.
We are the legal inheritors of the Kingdom of God;
for through Christ we now hold the right to receive all God’s spiritual,
Heavenly properties. And He has promised to give to us His Name, His Position and
His Title (see Rev. 3:12).
He wrote the names of all His heirs in the Book of
Life; with the gift of Eternal Life; the promise of inheritance of the New
Jerusalem; the right to eat from the Tree of Life; and the right to His
Heavenly Throne (for clearer detail read Revelation 2 and 3).
In Romans 8, Apostle Paul describes a fourth
illustrious branch of the happiness of believers, namely, a title to the future
Glory. This is fitly annexed to our sonship; for as the adoption of sons
entitles us to that Glory, so the disposition of sons fits and prepares us for
it.
We are the beneficiaries of God's Heavenly
Kingdom—legatees of His entire celestial city and royal estates; He has handed
over all His properties and treasures by His Will to us.
GOD THE FATHER wrote the Will, GOD THE SON enacted
the Will by dying for us on the cross, and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT enforces the
Will. Therefore, the transfer of God's assets to us is by bequest.
Imagine this for a moment: GOD has given to us His
Heavenly country with all of the mansions, the castles, homes, fountains,
vistas, living springs, the mountains, hills and rocks, the animals of Heaven
like the horses; the entire landscape, the gems and vast resources within the
beautiful and colorful environment of Paradise.
And above all, the right to inherit His Throne as His heirs.
