Heirs

Heirs

When I was growing up, to me, the word “heir” was synonymous with “rich people.” I rarely heard the word used unless I was being told that someone was an heir to the throne or an heir to great riches. 

Here’s the good news! We are heirs to the “great riches” of salvation found in and through Christ Jesus. 

Because of His sacrifice on the cross, everyone who accepts His gift for the forgiveness of our sin, immediately becomes heirs—co-heirs with Jesus Christ. 

Take time to consider what it means to be co-heirs with Jesus. Does your lived life reflect this reality? Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Romans 8:16-17

16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
