Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 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.
Because we the Redeemed are the children of God, we are also heirs of God. Our Heavenly Father is wealthy beyond measure. What He has belongs to us right now.
Not only are we the heirs of God, but we have been made joint-heirs with Jesus. Literally, we are given an equal share in the wealth of our Father.
I’m amazed when I come to understand that I have been placed on the same footing with Jesus. We will never be Him, but we have been made like Him in the Father's eyes! We are a child and heir of the King. Hallelujah!
I once was an outcast stranger on earth, a sinner by choice and an alien by birth. But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down --- An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown.
I'm a child of the King, a child of the King, with Jesus my Savior, I'm a child of the King.
