THE
JOINT HEIRS Friday January 8, 2016

Romans 8:17 – 25 Memory
verse: v 17
Our God breaks protocols and can change
the course of nature to ensure He blesses someone or fulfills His will for us.
When He wanted to come into the world, He chose a virgin, which by nature is
not possible. When Balaam couldn’t see reasons with Him, He used his donkey to
speak to him (Numbers 22:22–28). This is what makes God the Almighty.
Here, Paul says that Christians are all
first born and heirs. Naturally first born are heirs others in the family are
never seen as heirs. In earthly inheritance this rule does not hold, only the
first-born are heirs; but the church is a church of first-born, for they are
all heirs. Heaven is an inheritance that all the saints are heirs to. They do
not come to it as purchasers by any merit or procurement of their own; but as
heirs, purely by the act of God; for God makes heirs. The saints are heirs
though in this world they are under age heirs (Gal. 4:1–2). Our qualification
to inherit what God has for us is on the condition that we suffer with Him
(8:17). He further stated that what God has in stock for us should make us to
be expectant of the time we will be glorified (8:18–25). Are you working
towards it? Make it a priority this year.
