"In Christ's family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ's family, then you are Abraham's famous "descendant," heirs according to the covenant promises."
His love endures forever and His faithfulness spans the generations. Maybe you feel like you've come from a family tree poisoned with mistakes and disappointments. And instead of paving a way for the grand things you, your children and your children's children will do, you feel like you're spending all your time dealing constantly with issues, and fixing the messes of those who have gone before you. If this is the case, take heart and remember where you now come from. You can be so confident and happy in what Jesus did for you. When you started to love and follow Jesus, and His Spirit became alive in you, you became part of the family of God.
Romans 8: 14 says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
Spiritually you became a seed of the righteous, no longer of evil, and you are now an heir with Jesus. Heirs with Jesus! That is so big and beyond our minds that it's hard for our little heads to take it in. You are part of a royal family. The royal family. To understand your perfect position in the kingdom is to understand that you are a daughter or son of God. The riches of heaven and all that God has, and who He is, is ALL yours.
Romans 8:16-17
"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ..."
Think all about King Jesus. Don't feel bad about where you came from on this earth. Think about all you have inherited and think about all the amazing things you will do because of it. Be blessed and grateful if you have come from a long line of Jesus lovers, and take even more seriously the mantel passed on to you from your earthly ancestors. To everyone who loves and follows Jesus: all of the Kingdom is yours. Take big bites and use it all.
