TO BE COUNTED AMONG THE HEIRS OF THE FATHER, AND JOINT-HEIRS WITH THE SON, MEANS ONE HAS TO BE A PARTAKER IN HIS SUFFERING.
CHRIST ROYAL AMBASSADORS:
TO BE COUNTED AMONG THE HEIRS OF THE FATHER, AND JOINT-HEIRS WITH THE SON, MEANS ONE HAS TO BE A PARTAKER IN HIS SUFFERING.
ROMANS, 8:-16-17 “THE SPIRIT HIMSELF BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD AND FELLOW HEIRS WITH CHRIST, PROVIDED WE SUFFER WITH HIM IN ORDER THAT WE MAY ALSO BE GLORIFIED WITH HIM.”
REMEMBER WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS CONCERNING OUR GOD BEING A FAITHFUL GOD.
1 CORINTHIANS, 10:-13 “NO TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN YOU THAT IS NOT COMMON TO MAN. GOD IS FAITHFUL, AND HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED BEYOND YOUR ABILITY, BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE THE WAY OF ESCAPE, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ENDURE IT.”
WE MUST NOT LOSE OUR FOCUS ON THE HEAVEN GLORY THAT WE HAVE SET OURSELVES FOR, AND ALLOW SATAN TO DIVERT OUR ATTENTION FROM THE CROSS OF CHRIST TO THE VANITY OF THE WORLD.
SOME HAVE THEIR MANSIONS ALREADY BUILT IN THIS WORLD WITH NO PLAN OF HAVING A HOME IN HEAVEN WHERE THEY WILL SPEND ETERNITY. (MATTHEW, 7:-24-27)
2 CORINTHIANS, 5:-1 “FOR WE KNOW THAT IF THE TENT THAT IS OUR EARTHLY HOME IS DESTROYED, WE HAVE A BUILDING FROM GOD, A HOUSE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVEN.”
IN CONCLUSION: WE WILL BE GREATLY REWARDED IF WE CAN ENDURE TO THE END. (MATTHEW, 24:-13)
OUR INDIVIDUAL REASON FOR BEING IN THE RACE MUST NOT BE BASED ON FINANCIAL STABILITY THAT WE MAY BE SUPER-RICH AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR SALVATION.
OUR HOME IN HEAVEN MUST BE OUR PRIORITY, AND OUR PRAYERS MUST BE FOR SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT THAT WE MAY LIVE OUR LIVES IN A MANNER WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
