When someone dies, in order to be an inheritor, three things must be in place:
- First: There must be a WILL
- Second: There must be a MEDIATOR or executor of the will,
- Third: There need to be persons that are qualified to receive an INHERITANCE.
Inheritors are people that have a close relationship to the person that died, and this is especially true for
the children of a father. Using this model, the same is true for those that are 'The Children Of
God,' when it comes to receiving an inheritance from the Heavenly Father -
just as today’s verse says - “The Promise Of An ETERNAL INHERITANCE”.
But the question is this...“How can you become a child of God so that you can receive this
Eternal Inheritance?”
There is an interesting play on words here in that to be an inheritor in the (Legal) Will of God, you must DO THE WILL of God
and that is to confess with your mouth from your heart that “…by means of the death (of Christ)…for
the transgressions of your sins” (ibid) - that Christ died for your sins, that you repent of your sins,
and that you want to be part of his family. This is the message of the New Testament in that relationship with
God is no longer a matter of following the laws of the Old Testament, but receiving the gift of God of love
and reconciliation into his family that Christ as mediator of the new covenant made in the New Testament.
Friend there is an ETERNAL INHERITANCE awaiting you but you cannot receive it unless you are in the family of
God. If you have not done so, come to Christ today. He wants you in His family and he does not want to
see anyone miss receiving the inheritance which is yours simply for the asking.
Ask Christ today -
“LORD, I want to be your child and in your family!”
