Romans 8:16-17, Heirs of God
We are adopted into the family of God by the new birth. As heirs of God, we enjoy the privilege and blessing of being God’s children. For every need that we have, we can call upon the heavenly Father for help. We have access to the heavenly Father through Christ. We have not fully experience the blessings of being heirs of God. When Israel entered the Promised Land, God instructed Joshua to allot the land according to their tribe and family as an inheritance. With the land, each family finds shelter and sustenance. Our heavenly inheritance will far exceed any earthly inheritance. Jesus tells us that He has gone ahead to prepare a heavenly mansion for us, and He would return to bring us there.
