“Heirs Of His Kingdom”
Saturday, July 26, 2025Key Verse
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:17
Text —Romans 8:14-18
Message
An heir is someone who inherits the position and properties of another. This is common in families where the child or children are heirs of their parents. In a monarchical system of government, the child, most often the first born is always the heir of the reigning king or queen. After the death of the monarch, the heir takes over the reign in the kingdom.
In the kingdom of God, it is a bit different. A child can become the heir of the kingdom when he turns from his sins and is washed clean by the blood of Jesus. There is no discrimination. The door is open for everyone who is willing. The blood of Jesus is the blood of the everlasting covenant that washes our hearts and gives us access to kingdom blessings and inheritance. Jesus Christ is the principal Heir in God’s kingdom. He came down to earth to seek and save the sinners. Those who accept His invitation and repent will become sons and daughters of God, heirs and joint heirs with the Saviour. Is it not a glorious thing to become joint-heir with Jesus? This means you can inherit all things that pertain to life and godliness. The ball is in your court. Surrender your life to Jesus now and become an heir in God’s kingdom.
