An Heir of God
(Gal4:1-7)
God is the Father of glory (Eph1:7).
He gives birth to children gloriously and
He inherits to His children gloriously.
Faith is believing Him and longing for Him, and
The life of this faith is seizing the inheritance of the Father (Mt11:12).
Regardless of the times,
Whether a family business, a corporation or a nation,
The greater the sacrifice to accomplish it
The greater the desire of the parent to inherit to his children ” this is human nature.
However, when the descendant receives without any sacrifice
Since he knows no value he can easily lose it.
Different from angels
God made man as a living being with flesh (Ge2:7; He2:7) so that
After suffering he can take possession and
Become an heir of God (He1:2, 2:11).
Deceived by the devil, Adam sinned and was banished from the Garden (Ge3:5, 24) and
All men were demoted to become slaves of the servant who was
Made to serve those who will inherit salvation (He1:14; 2Pe2:19).
Nevertheless, God began His work regarding men planned from the beginning (Ge3:5, 24):
He called on Abram when he was childless and
Promised him an inheritance: an offspring and the land of Canaan (Ge15:2-5, 7).
Not only was Isaac the son of Sarah, the mother of nations (Ge17:15-16)
But he also complied with his father Abraham and
Gave himself as a burnt offering, becoming his heir.
Although it was already predestined that he would become the heir
Jacob had to fight to seize it (Ge25:23, 32-33):
By wrestling with the angel, he received the name Israel (Ge32:28) and
His descendants became a great people after their slavery of 430 years and
Finally entered the Promised Land (Ge15:16).
While the Israelites lived in fear under the Law delivered by angels (Ac7:35, 53; Rm8:15),
The sanctuary where the covenant of God was gave them hope.
When the set time had fully come
The Son of God came, born of a woman, born under the Law and
He said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2:19), because
Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,
He would redeem men from the spirit of servant and give them the adoption of sonship (Gal4:4-5).
As He died, Jesus said, "It finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:
1) Gave glory to the Father who let Him fight gloriously against the prince of the world and become His glorious heir (Php2:11);
2) Condemned the devil who without any sacrifice attempted to ascend the throne (Is14:12-15; 1Jn3:8); and
3) Tore His flesh and tore the written code, and released those who were slaves of the angel, making a way for them to become heirs of God (Col2:14).
He rose and
Sat on the heavenly throne as the Heir of all things (He1:2).
The Holy Spirit comes in the name Yeshua
To those who have became children of God (Jn1:12) and
Lets them know that the name Yeshua is their inheritance (He1:4-5).
An heir of God is he who while alive
Prays to the Abba Father in His name (Rm8:14-17),
Testifies His name gloriously (Ac5:41; 1Pe4:12-16) and
Produces heir (Rm6:21; 2Ti2:2, 3:10-11), and
Finally receives the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven after death.
O Lord, our Father in heaven!
Let us gloriously fight with the name Yeshua and
Inherit great faith to our heirs of faith! Amen.
