Heirs of God:

Titus 3:7

     7     so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

 
Romans 8:16-17

16     The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,

     17     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.

     
            Since we are children of the Most High, we are heirs. We are fellow heirs with Jesus. We don’t have to become good enough or do enough good works to inherit the promises. We have them naturally as children of God. We are not just hoping that we are children of God. His Spirit inside of us witnesses with our spirits that we are His children. We can truly know that we are His. Some Christians live a life hoping to go to Heaven one day. They don’t care if they “barely” make it. We can have a confident expectation that one day we will be with Him forever.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are My child, and as such there is a wealth of glory for you. It is yours for the asking. I count you as a fellow-heir with My Son. I do not have hand-me-downs or cast-off items for you. My inheritance is rich and glorious.”

            23. I have not only been made an heir of God, I have also been made a joint-heir with Christ. Therefore, what Christ will inherit so will I.
