Thoughts for another day

Feb. 13, 2014.

Today's verse:  Gal. 3:29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Many times I wonder if we Christians who believe in Christ, really know what our inheritance in Him is.  I recall God saying, ‘My people die for lack of knowledge’ Hosea 4:6 and I see so many Christians wither away by the road in utter despair, poverty, sickness, defeat and frustration,  and yet here’s our Word saying, ‘If we be Christ’s then we’re Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise made to him by God (Gen. 17:19) because Abraham obeyed God, keeping His requirements, commands, decrees and laws (Gen. 26:5).

As we have accepted Christ, His Spirit dwells in us and we’re led by His Spirit, by which also we’re called children of God (see Rom. 8:1 – 17) and if we’re children, then we’re heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, Rom. 8:17.  If we’re heirs then we’re entitled to all of God’s promises beginning with the ability to be pure and right before Him, seeing that we who’re unrighteous by ourselves are now enveloped with the righteousness of Christ and acceptable to God.  Every promise in the Word of God, made to God’s people are applicable to us because we’re now, not just redeemed sinners, but His Own children…yes, we belong to God’s family in and through Jesus Christ.

Now then if God is our Father, is it not pertinent for us to have a share in everything that belongs to Him?  Riches, wealth, good health, a clean conscience are all ours by His decree in His Word.  Every power is ours to invoke and get, for it is available to us.  This is the knowledge God wants us to have and He is pleased to give everything to us, if we but believe, even the power to do as Jesus did for example, calm the sea!  I will say this that there will be a time when someone from God and of God, will stand before this world and slam it and work great wonders so men who don’t have Christ in them will shudder and cringe before him and ask Him, who is your God and He will say, Jesus Christ the Son of God, is my God and He it is Who sustains me.  What a glorious day that will be when hearing this, they will decide to follow Christ and give glory only to Him.
