Galatians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
What were we a slave to?
Our hearts without Christ were dead to righteousness and very much alive to deceit and wickedness. We were a slave to sin!
Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV) 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?
When we put our faith in Jesus Christ and turn from our deceitful and wicked ways, we are born again, washed in His blood. We become heirs of God, meaning we are now adopted into God’s family.
We are heirs not by human merits, but by putting our faith in Christ. We are no longer servants or slaves to anyone or anything, but considered sons and daughters of the Highest!
When we become an heir, it means we are entitled to an inheritance!
Praise be to God, we enter a place where we will receive His inheritance; eternal life, righteousness, and the kingdom of God!
Children of God, we are so blessed!
Amen.
