15 Elul 5765 HIS Glorious and Eternal Inheritance!
Romans 8:13-17 NIV
For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Becoming a Believer in Christ, we receive God's Spirit of POWER and Worth!
Christ Jesus, having paid the debt for our sin and rebellion against a Holy and Righteous God, shares with us of HIS inheritance.
Having suffered through false accusation, beatings and a cruel death on the cross at Calvary, having been resurrected by Holy Spirit, that same POWER of God, Christ now lives VICTORIOUSLY in our lives.
Believers receive revelation by Holy Spirit concerning the sufferings in this life at the hands of the unjust, for we are made aware of these in God's WORD as recorded by men such as the Apostle Paul.
Just as Christ knew and understood the value of our life for which HE gave HIS life as a ransom, we must also value the suffering which we endure, as preparation for sharing in HIS Glory!
Abba Father, I give YOU all my Praise!
YOUR Spirit gives me rest each day,
from my sufferings and pain!!
I know YOUR Glory will shroud me,
now and throughout eternity as YOU Promised!!!
Amen!
