An Heir

Galatians 4:7 – So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a Son of God; God has made you also an heir.

Romans 8:17a – Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.

We are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. This means that whatever God has given to Jesus is also ours. We have joint ownership with Him.

The good news is that we do not have to wait to inherit the promises of God for our lives. There are thousands of promises in the Word, and we can claim them all as an heir of God.


As joint-heirs with Jesus, we can claim our inheritances NOW. Since Jesus has already died, we do not have to wait for those inheritances. When we receive an inheritance from our earthly parents, the inheritance does not change hands until they die. As sons (and daughters) of God, we have access to all the blessings God has provided for us here on earth because of the death of His Son.

Heirs …
- are beneficiaries to a kingdom – Jesus prepared it for us
- have the same blessings as Jesus
- have a legacy in God
- are able to legally claim their inheritance

We have the counsel of the Godhead because we are heirs of God, and this divine support and guidance helps us, as we pursue our destiny.

Nothing is impossible for God’s heirs because His provisions and blessings are available for all of His children to enjoy.

Ponder and meditate on this:

How can I embrace and believe that I own the things that Jesus owns?
