We Believers are Sons of God to be Heirs Through God and Heirs According to Promise

As believers in Christ, we are no longer slaves but sons, and if sons, we are heirs also through God; through regeneration in the resurrection of Christ we have become heirs to inherit the Triune God as our inheritance, with the Holy Spirit as the pledge of our inheritance.

Praise the Lord, we are no longer slaves to sin but sons of God, born of God with His life and nature, so that we may inherit all that God is! Amen, Lord, bring us into the enjoyment of Yourself much more today. Keep us in our spirit in all things. We do not want to live according to our natural man or in the flesh; we choose to exercise our spirit and be led by the Spirit so that we may be sons of God! Hallelujah, we were regenerated with God’s life to be sons of God and become heirs of God, even joint heirs with Christ, to partake of all that God is and has! Amen!

It is amazing to see what we as believers in Christ are in God’s eyes and according to His word. The Bible clearly tells us that, when we repent and believe into the Lord Jesus, we receive Him as life, and we become children of God.

Thank the Lord that all genuine believers in Christ have an organic union with God in life to be children of God, related to God in an intimate way, in the way of life!

Now we can enjoy God’s life daily, and as we are led by the Spirit of God, we grow in life to become sons of God. Being children of God is not good enough; we need to grow and be sons of God, those led by the Spirit of God.

As sons, we continue to grow unto maturity until we become heirs of God. We are born as children; we grow in life to become sons, and we must pass through suffering that we may be glorified to become legal heirs.

Our destiny for eternity is to enjoy all that God is as heirs of God; what we enjoy of God today is a foretaste, and what we will enjoy for eternity is the full taste.

If we today are willing to suffer with the Lord and for the Lord, if we do not count the present suffering but look to the reward, the coming glory to be revealed upon us, we will become heirs of God.

Actually, the more we suffer for the Lord and with the Lord in this age, the more we will shine and enjoy in the next age.

May we not seek to get out of suffering with the Lord but remain there, one with Him, allowing Him to work Himself into us little by little, day by day, until one day He will glorify our entire being! Praise the Lord!

We are Sons of God to be Heirs through God, enjoying God as our Portion under Grace

In Galatians 4:7 we are told that we are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, an heir also through God. This is so wonderful: we’re no longer slaves under law, trying to obey God and keep His law, but we are sons under grace, and we are heirs through God! Amen!

As New Testament believers, we are no longer slaves to works under law but sons in life under grace.

We may say we don’t keep the law of the Old Testament, but we may have our own self-made laws, our self-imposed laws, even our self-imposed standards that actually rob us of the experience of grace.

May we return to the enjoyment of Christ daily, remembering that we are sons in life under grace. The New Testament believers become heirs of God not through law nor through their fleshly father but through God, even the Triune God!

Amen, we become heirs of God through the Father who sent forth the Son and the Spirit (vv. 4, 6), the Son who accomplished redemption for sonship (v. 5), and the Spirit who carries out the sonship within us (v. 6).

The entire Triune God is working and operating to make us heirs of God – the Father sends the Son and the Spirit, the Son accomplishes redemption for sonship, and the Spirit carries out the sonship within us.

When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, and He also sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts crying, Abba, Father. This is the dispensing of the Triune God into our being.

This is the secret and the key to being a child of God, a son of God, and an heir of God: keeping ourselves under the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.

May we daily keep ourselves under God’s dispensing. This is the only way to grow in life unto maturity; this is our only hope.

God’s only goal in time is to dispense Himself into us day by day. We have the Spirit in our heart crying, Abba, Father, and we enjoy Christ the Son day by day.

One way to apply this is to cry, Abba, Father! As we pass through all kinds of experiences, it is good to call on the name of the Lord Jesus, and sometimes, it is good to just call, Abba, Father!

As we call on the name of the Lord Jesus, we take the cup of God’s salvation and drink Him, are infused with Him, and are refreshed with Him.

As we call, Abba Father, not only after the Lord’s Table meeting when the time to worship the Father comes, but in our daily experience, we enjoy the sweetness of Abba’s name, for we are His sons and He is our Father.

We need to be reminded that the Father begot us and the Father loves us.

All things work together for good for us, for we are begotten of God, the Father’s heart is always good toward us, and we are being conformed to the image of Christ, the firstborn Son of God (Rom. 8:28).

May the Lord open our eyes to see how much we still need to enjoy the divine dispensing day by day. May we be enlightened and encouraged to call the Father’s name again and again.

May we pray that the Father would open our eyes for us to see and receive the divine dispensing. As we go through situations and things in our daily life, may we not murmur or reason but be open to the divine dispensing.

The Spirit has been sent into our heart, the Son has been sent to be in us, and the Father is always ready to give us more of Himself. Thank the Lord that we are children of God, sons of God, becoming heirs of God.

Lord Jesus, unveil us to see that we are no longer slaves under the law but sons of God, even heirs through God! Hallelujah, we are children of God growing in life to be sons of God and being matured to be heirs of God, even heirs through God! Amen, Lord, we open to Your divine dispensing today. We stop our working hard and our struggling to please God under the law of God or under any self-made law or standard. We simply open to You! Praise the Lord, we believers in Christ become heirs of God not through the law nor through our fleshly father but through God, even the Triune God! Amen, Lord, we open to Your divine dispensing today! Abba Father, we love You! Unveil us, Father, to see and be under Your divine dispensing. Strengthen us into our inner man through Your Spirit so that we may enjoy the divine dispensing day by day. Abba Father, grant us a normal experience of Christ in our daily living so that we may be transformed by the Spirit and become heirs of God through God! Hallelujah!

Through Regeneration in the Resurrection of Christ we have become Heirs to Inherit the Triune God as our Inheritance with the Holy Spirit as the Pledge

Another wonderful verse telling us that we are heirs of God is Galatians 3:29; here we see that if we are of Christ, then we are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.

God gave the promise to Abraham and to his seed; his seed is one, which is Christ (v. 16). If we want to be heirs of God and enjoy the promised inheritance, we must be in Christ, joined to Christ, and of Christ.

By faith in Christ, we are joined to Him organically and are made one with Him; we are now of Christ, so we are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.

We are now inheritors of God, inheriting God’s promised blessing, which is the all-inclusive Spirit as the ultimate consummation of the processed Triune God to be our portion.

God intended to give the promise to Abraham according to His eternal purpose. However, Abraham’s descendants fell, and God had to give the law as a custodian of God’s people until Christ as the promised seed came.

Now through faith in Christ, we are in Christ, and He fulfilled the promise; we now inherit the fulfilled promise and we enjoy the blessing of the promise to Abraham.

By faith in Christ, we enjoy the processed Triune God as the all-inclusive life-giving Spirit, our blessing. Hallelujah!

We need to treasure the fact that we have been regenerated by God in the resurrection of Christ (1 Pet. 1:3). It is through regeneration in the resurrection of Christ that we believers in Christ became heirs of God.

First, Christ came to accomplish redemption and justify us; then, by faith in Christ, we are redeemed and reconciled to God, and even more, we receive God’s life!

Not only are we reconciled to God, redeemed by God, and justified by God; we are also regenerated by God to be enlivened with God’s life and come into a relationship of life with God.

We have been born of God to be brought into an organic union with God. Through regeneration, we have a living hope; our hope is to become heirs of God. Praise the Lord!

When Christ died, we died with Him; when He resurrected, we were resurrected with Him (Eph. 2:6). In His resurrection, Christ imparted the divine life into us and made us the same as He is in life and nature; now we are becoming heirs of God.

Praise the Lord, we have another life in addition to our human life: we have the divine life in us!

God chose us, the Spirit sanctified us, and Christ redeemed us (1 Pet. 1:2), and we were begotten by God to be children of God, even heirs according to promise.

We are of Christ; therefore, we are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise. As long as we are in Christ, we enjoy the divine inheritance.

Once a person has been born on earth in a certain family, he has the right to enjoy an earthly inheritance.

Similarly, once a person has been born again by God with His Spirit, that one is born unto a living hope, and this living hope is the inheritance of all the spiritual and heavenly blessings related to eternal life.

This is what we will inherit for eternity, and daily we need to take possession of this inheritance and enjoy it.

We believers in Christ have become heirs to inherit the Triune God as our inheritance through regeneration in the resurrection of Christ.

Today the Spirit is the pledge of our inheritance (Eph. 1:13-14); the Holy Spirit of the promise is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of the acquired possession. How wonderful!

God will forever be our inheritance, and today we can enjoy a foretaste of this rich and all-inclusive inheritance as we turn to our spirit and contact the Lord!

We can have a sample, a foretaste, a partial enjoyment of what we will forever enjoy in full!

On the one hand, God gave us His Holy Spirit as a guarantee of our inheritance to secure our heritage. On the other hand, He gave us the Spirit as the pledge, the foretaste.

May we be those who enjoy the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity today so that we may have a foretaste of what we will enjoy in eternity.

May we realise that we are a part of Christ, one with Christ, and in Christ, and because He is the Seed, we enjoy the blessing, for we are heirs according to promise.

May we daily contact the Lord, be in Christ, and enjoy what is rightfully ours: God in Christ as the Spirit to be our blessing!

Lord Jesus, thank You for making us heirs according to promise by us being in Christ! Praise the Lord, we are no longer in the flesh, no longer in the self, and no longer under the law, but we are in Christ and of Christ! Hallelujah, we were regenerated in the resurrection of Christ unto a living hope, which is to inherit the promised blessing! Amen, Lord, we exercise our spirit today to enjoy You. Grant us to see that we have another life besides our human life – we have the divine life for us to enjoy all that God in Christ as the Spirit is to us! Hallelujah, we are heirs according to promise and we can enjoy the promised blessing! Amen, Lord, we want to daily take possession of our inheritance and enjoy it. Keep us open to Your divine dispensing. Dispense all that You are, all that You have, and all that You have done into us. Praise the Lord, through regeneration in the resurrection of Christ we have become heirs to inherit the Triune God as our inheritance with the Holy Spirit as the pledge! Amen, we have the Holy Spirit as the foretaste of the full enjoyment of the Triune God! Amen, Lord, keep us enjoying You as our blessing today! Amen!
